I agree with both Don's and RQ's ideas. I especially like Joly's idea about having prizes, maybe for the bigger race events. I go to Parx every year for the PA Derby and always get a free PA Derby and Cotillion hat. I would be more than happy to offer that up for a prize. It's not much but it's a little something.

I agree with all of the above suggestions.

Prizes would be awesome. I remember way back when, we used to get prizes, won a few myself. Nothing more exciting than getting a prize in the mail, it was incentive to make sure I didnt miss a week and I even handicapped a bit harder than I do nowadays. I'd be willing to make a donation as well...not sure what I could donate, but willing to help out.

.....was just thinking....

if its a later in the year, or end of year prize, I can totally hit up my HRA/HBPA friends for a donation of some Northlands merchandise...I do it all the time so it wont be a problem getting stuff.

Thanks for all the support and comments so far and the offer for getting prizes. Maybe I can find some magic at Lone Star Park and wrangle a prize from them. I know I can get some stuff from the Dallas Zoo.

You don't need to - I know when I resemble a remark.

Doubt it but doesn't hurt to ask.
