Here is the info for the obstacle challenge pictures from our photographer, Andrea:

Good morning!
Here is the gallery for the obstacle course:

https://andreabrickeyphotography.pixieset.com/lizchristiansonmemorialextremeobstaclechallenge2026/

The link is open to the public so anyone can see the images - I usually set a passcode but figured no passcode would be easier.

So they’ll click the link, scroll to find their photos that they would like, and “heart” them. The heart is near the upper right corner. When they heart them, it will ask for their email.
I can see from my side when someone creates a favorite gallery and their email. They just need to put their correct email as I’ll send over their final images to that email.

They can also message my business page too if they need help, are done selecting their images, would like to make a donation, or have questions:

As disappointing as canceling is, we have decided to call off fun night tomorrow, July 29th. It's too hard to have fun when the kids and horses are on the struggle bus. Hole up in a shady area and drink lots of electrolytes, and we'll see you next week!

This is your friendly reminder that we will be cleaning the poultry and expo barns out tomorrow evening. Monday, July 20th is a big fundraiser for our club and we really appreciate a big team effort on this. We need to get the poultry cages collapsed and sorted, that barn swept out, and we need to get sheep pens cleaned out in the expo barn.

Bring your kids, bring your spouses, bring your friends and neighbors! Also please bring shovels and brooms, and a wheelbarrow if you're able to. The fair does have a couple wheelbarrows but we often run short and end up using trash bins.

We start at 6 pm. Bring your water bottle and some
elbow grease and let's do this thing!

State Fair Parade announcements !

The theme for this year's parade is "250 years of heroes". Dress as patriotic as your heart desires!

We can park our rigs behind the Ranger Lounge before line up and MBS Truss Co has graciously given us permission to park our rigs in their lot after the parade begins. We must clean up after ourselves very very well in both lots.

Our number is 188. Our line up time is 8:45. See photo in comments for our spot on Broadway.

Candy may be distributed by handing over or directly dropping only. No chucking into the street or crowds.

We have one volunteer to scoop p**p, but would surely appreciate or or two more!

Pack your water bottles to stay hydrated, be safe and let's show the parade goers our beautiful horses and Minot Trail Riders spirit !

Bad news, horse show goers : the forecast for Saturdays temp keeps getting hotter and hotter. MTR is regretfully canceling the NWSCA show on July 11.

Please stay in the shade or AC and stay well hydrated this weekend. And watch out for possible rescheduling.
