| 2nd
Annual "Party in the Park" was a terrific success! |

|
| The weather was
perfect, the run was exhilarating, and the pancakes delicious;
no wonder the Bridle Trails Park Foundation's 2nd Annual Party
in the Park was such a smashing success.
It is estimated that there were between 800 and 1,000 people
in the park The success of this event can be directly attributed
to two things: a committee that spent many long hours researching,
planning, and executing a very well run event, and more than
45 wonderful, willing and happy volunteers. Without your help,
this event could not be held. Volunteers>> |

|
| Although the final
numbers are not in yet, a good estimate puts our net profit
at somewhere around $15,000 - $16,000. That
will go a long way in helping us reach our goal of creating
a $1.5 million dollar endowment.
The Foundation would like to thank all those who
worked on, or attended, this fun day. We also want to thank
our sponsors for their support. Sponsor generousity
helped fund the event and keep costs down. Sponsors>> |

| Two hundred plus
people ran or walked through the forested trails during the
Fun Run. More than twice that number partook of the pancake
and bacon outdoor breakfast. Fun
Run Race Results>>
The kids' activity center was so busy that the face painters
hardly had time to take a break! As you would expect, the
pony rides were a big hit as well. Over 30 people enjoyed
the guided nature walks and the brochure made for the walk
was wonderful. The Poker Ride in the afternoon drew in the
neighborhood of 40 riders who bought and played over 100 hands.

Horse riding demonstrations and entertainment were provided
by the Hilltop Hayburners 4-H youth drill team, the Western
Sky School of Horsemanship, the Saddlebreds and pony carts
from Les Corbett's stables, and the ever popular King County
Posse drill team.
Don Prince, Foundation President, was called out into the
arena to accept a donation check from the Hayburners. Don
said he was almost moved to tears when he turned around
and saw the bleachers over-flowing with people.
