C.R.A.A. Year End Awards, 2007
The Connecticut River Arabian Association held it's first annual banquet on November 30th at Aleia's Restaurant in Westbrook, Ct.   This year's theme was a Ho Down (in case you're wondering about the attire) which made for a fun evening.    Champions received beautiful bomber jackets with their winnings & club logo embroidered on the front and the word "CHAMPION" with a large C.R.A.A. logo embroidered on the back.    They were simply awesome!   Equally awesome was the Reserve Champions award of a beautiful fleece vest with the persons winnings & club logo embroidered on the front.    Raffles and informative lectures took place and a special Happy Birthday went out to John Fitzgerald who spent his 35th celebrating with the team.    Not all team members were able to attend but hopefully next year they'll be able to participate in the festivities.    . . . Now for the awards . . .
