ISSO recently had it’s Annual Gathering – this, just weeks before the first State shut down.  Yet, we had a great time.  There were some super lectures on all things sidesaddle, lots of items for sale, and some great shopping and socializing!  We would like to congratulate our members on their year end accomplishments and were happy to see many recipients were able to make it to our Annual Awards Dinner that was a big hit.  The food was excellent and the silent auction had some great items that caused a little competition amongst friends.  The awards that were presented were nothing short of awesome.  We would like to thank Tammie Conway for ordering some amazing rosettes and for obtaining the sidesaddle covers (custom made by Amy Magee) and matching bridle bags and having them embroidered with the ISSO logo.  These served as the “trophies” for Champion and Reserve.   We also would like to thank everyone that donated to the Silent Aution and the fabulous swag bags that each member received this weekend. They include Shelly Liggett, Laureen Bartfield, Mary Beth Walker, Jennifer Stevenson, Tammie Conway, Pie Truono, Barbara Drogo, Carla Peetros, and Jeannie Whited.
