<item><title>Intro to Horses for 6-12 year olds</title><link>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/306888/</link><description>Our July 12th class filled so fast we added an additional class the end of June!!

June 26th, 10:00-11:30 a.m.		
6-12 year old sessions: 1 1/2 hour long, $35
This 1 ½ hour “Introduction” class is geared to the attention span of the younger children. There will be simple discussion on basic safety around horses, horse personalities, horse care, and tack. Most of the class time will be “Hands-On” with the kids learning to brush and groom the horses. The last 45 minutes of the class will be spent riding, with each child getting a chance to ride a horse.
These classes are fun and kids love them!  Please call Pivotal Movements at 234-0070 to hold your seat.

As our multi-events begin falling into place, the whole process takes a great number of folks to make it happen each year, and we appreciate those who enjoy making it all possible!  

Our 4th of July festivities grow in different ways each year which calls for more participation from you adventurous types, looking for ways to energize our community!   Unless you&apos;ve ever been a part of these particular annual events, you&apos;re missing a great opportunity.

Just imagine THAT DAY of INDEPENDENCE as you stand among the Parade activity, people arriving from all directions, finding their places through coordinators at the line-up location.  Types of vehicles arriving for placement, cyclers, and walkers roaming for assignments....a CIRCUS atmosphere unfolding before your eyes!  And YOU right there being a PART OF MAKING IT HAPPEN!!  And all because you&apos;ve wanted to actually TRY being a part of something special for your community! NOW is your chance!

One way is by helping to formulate the whole process.  Our 4th of July PEOPLES PARADE/ ACTIVITY COMMITTEE has some very dedicated folks who return year after year to accomplish the successes you have seen in the past.  Some of our past help have relocated elsewhere and we can use replacements who can offer new ideas or help our other members carry out theirs.  Why not sit-in with us and see what it&apos;s all about?  Wednesday (19th) is the next meeting. 

Perhaps you like to entertain as a single or in a group?  Sing? Play?  Stand-Up?   It happens at the gazebo in Riverside Park after the Parade.

If you have the inclination to become a part of our Great Celebration and would like more information, call Kay Weischedel at 853-0975, Scott Elder at 234-5811 or Mary Elizabeth Irion at 234-1900.  Thank you!

Among the events will be a float-decorating contest and Best-of-Show Bike Contest (ALL age groups invited!) plus many other activities at Riverside Park.  More details, as promised earlier, of the various events, free food, entertainment and contributions.  Bye for now!</description><author>Gene Larson</author><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:10:15 UTC</pubDate><permaLink>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/305756/#306873</permaLink></item><item><title>RE: Fourth of July PEOPLE PARADE-CELEBRATE!</title><link>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/305756/#306615</link><description>In yesterday&apos;s snippet I&apos;d mentioned cotton candy as being one of the elements of our 4th of July celebration.  And it takes the fine volunteers of Community Baptist Church who are continuing to bring us that treat, as in the past years.  The snow cones AND THE BOUNCE HOUSE for the kids, too! They represent the very reason these yearly PEOPLE PARADES and RIVERSIDE PARK FESTIVITIES are so special, because they are completely VOLUNTEER-DRIVEN! All due to the wonderful Community in which we live!

There are NO FEES for any event and FREE OFFERINGS of food and entertainment.  And all put forth by businesses and organizations that are thankful for your involvement in keeping the wheels of progress moving and aiding those in need in our Frontier Town.

Many treats will be available by non-profit organizations in the Park with NO OBLIGATION and free-will offerings will be accepted.
Many businesses also help each year through promotional materials and in providing the many elements that make these celebrations possible. We&apos;ll tell you more about these venues as we move along.

A NEW EVENT is being formulated this year, THE PATRIOTIC CONTATA! A choral group that will radiate the musical essence of Freedom!  How would YOU like to be a part of that exhilarating group?  Rehearsals are planned for anyone interested in being a participant.  HERE&apos;S YOUR CHANCE!  Rehearsals take place on Sundays, June 16th, 23rd, and 30th at Noon in the First Baptist Church, 900 Palmer, across from Washington School   SING OUT!!

Seems to me you helped start this wonderful event a decade ago!   And we all miss you folks, too!!  I sure am sorry I missed you during our other big event, the Bucking Horse Sale.   Especially knowing you left a legacy that keeps growing each year!

Our PEOPLES PARADE has evolved greatly from that first day of a couple of lone horse riders, Joe walking his dog and you others who were brave enough to DODGE TRAFFIC during that initial brave event.  HA! HA! What a memory!

As we catapult toward our 10th year,(WOW!), I hope to bring along the kid in me and sneak over to the cotton candy line and revert to the youngster who always awaits such a triggering event.   And the recollection of those yesteryear times in the park with Grandpa, Grandma and my family as we picnicked in the park as the band played Susa marches from the gazebo.  Generations have passed since then, but the current generation can foster the same type of memories by joining our fabulous PEOPLE PARADE and Riverside Park&apos;s wondrous array of activities for everyone!   

As we move ever-closer to these exciting events, I&apos;ll highlight their various aspects to help you prepare to join us.

I&apos;d mentioned the type of floats that you ride or pull (but not EAT!)and you can win a prize if you qualify for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place!  These prizes will be based on Originality, Amount of Actual Construction of the Float, and how well the Float is Put Together and Arranged.  (Example: Floats built from scratch using materials like chicken wire and tissue paper will rank higher than using Pre-fabricated Materials and placed on a flat bed trailer.)   So GET OUT THERE and have some fun producing something you&apos;ll be proud of!

More details and fun ideas next time.   GET EXCITED!!</description><author>Gene Larson</author><pubDate>Fri, 14 Jun 2013 02:25:28 UTC</pubDate><permaLink>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/305756/#306508</permaLink></item><item><title>RE: Fourth of July PEOPLE PARADE-CELEBRATE!</title><link>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/305756/#306483</link><description>I will be thinking of all of the wonderful people that make this such a success.</description><author>Tucker Bolton</author><pubDate>Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:08:19 UTC</pubDate><permaLink>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/305756/#306483</permaLink></item><item><title>RE: Fourth of July PEOPLE PARADE-CELEBRATE!</title><link>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/305756/#306440</link><description>JMD and All:

SO AM I!!!  I&apos;m certainly ordering the great weather we&apos;ve had for the previous PEOPLES PARADES!  Don&apos;t you feel the excitement welling from within?  I know I DO!

Last year showed us how much folks enjoyed presenting their own floats, so hopefully more folks will feel the enjoyment of parading theirs past friends and neighbors.   If you have one in mind, NOW&apos;S the time to get started, you know how time flies! 

It&apos;s also not too soon to get those entry forms in for whatever venue you have in mind.   Great Grains Health foods at 21 South Ninth Street is the place to pick up an RETURN those forms, or call  234-5811 for more information.  You can also call Mary Elizabeth Irion at 234-1900 or 853-1952.

I will again this year have the distinction of being the BUTT-END of the Parade in my colorful garb, flag, and red white and blue whirligig!  Ah, butt this will signal the BEGINNING of the Riverside Park festivities and FUN FOR ONE AND ALL!!   More details forthcoming!</description><author>Gene Larson</author><pubDate>Thu, 13 Jun 2013 05:41:45 UTC</pubDate><permaLink>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/305756/#306440</permaLink></item><item><title>RE: Fourth of July PEOPLE PARADE-CELEBRATE!</title><link>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/305756/#306401</link><description>Looking forward to the NEW surprises! :D</description><author>JMD</author><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jun 2013 22:09:03 UTC</pubDate><permaLink>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/305756/#306401</permaLink></item><item><title>Magic Show at the Library!</title><link>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/306323/</link><description>The Miles City Public Library is proud to welcome back Colorado&apos;s Kyle Groves&apos; MAGIC SHOW!

This 2 1/2 hour “Introduction” class is geared to the older teen and adult. We often hear from adults that they wished we offered our “Camp” for adults. This class was put together with that in mind so we could incorporate a feel for the fun and learning that goes on at Horse Camp, but tailored to the adult. There will be discussion on basic Safety Issues around horses, horse &amp; rider partnership, horse personalities, horse care, Riding Tack and the differences between English &amp; Western style riding. Most of the class time will be “Hands-On” with everyone learning to brush, groom, and “tack up” the horses. Each participant will have 60 minutes of riding time in a Group Lesson. They will learn about how to communicate with the horse to foster that horse/rider partnership.
Please call 406-234-0070 or email cathy@pivotalmovementsmc.com to hold your seat.  Friday, June 14th, 1-3:30 p.m.</description><author>cs</author><pubDate>Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:13:11 UTC</pubDate><permaLink>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/306218/</permaLink></item><item><title>RE: Riding Lessons and Workshops Starting in June</title><link>http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/304230/#306037</link><description>The staff at Pivotal Movements Equine Program just wanted to say thank you to everyone that participated in the Intro to Horses classes yesterday.

This is the class for them!
June 7, 1:00-3:00 p.m.

This 2 hour “Introduction” class is geared to the teen. There will be simple discussions on basic Safety Issues around horses, horse personalities, horse care, and riding tack. Most of the class time will be “Hands-On” with grooming, and “tacking up” the horses. The last 50 to 60 minutes of the class will be spent riding, with the teens encouraging each other, taking turns riding and learning a little bit about how to communicate to the horse.

Cost: $40 for each parent / child pair. Please call 234-0070 to reserve your spot. 
This is a 1 ½ hour “Introduction” class that allows the children that are too young to participate on their own the opportunity to learn about horses with a parent (Mom, Dad, or Grandparent). The Safety Discussion part of the Clinic is the first thing we do and is directed to the adult participant. This discussion will be basic information on how to keep the children safe around horses in general, and during the Clinic in particular. 
Most of the class time will be “Hands-On” with the kids learning to brush and groom the gentle horses. The last portion of the class will be spent riding, with each child getting a turn to ride a horse with their parent leading their horse on a lead line.
 Important Safety Rules:
 • No younger siblings under 2 ½ years old in with the Clinic (No strollers or wearing babies in carrier) 
• Parent must remain with child (and be very hands on) at all times 
Supplies Needed: wear closed shoes and long pants. Riding Helmets are provided.
