Name the Colt

If you have not done so yet, take the

time to stop by the Stables and visit

the new foal. C9R needs your help in

finding the perfect name for our

newest edition. If you would like to

submit a name for the foal you can

do so at the Ranch Office. Each

name submitted will be 50 cents.

Proceeds for the name selection goes

to the C9R Volunteer Fire

Department and First Responder

Programs. The name will be selected

at the end of the summer.

Continued from Front Page (Horseback Riding at

Cloud 9 Ranch)

The adventure begins at 11:30am at the

C9R stables. Cowboys and Cowgirls will

be introduced to their faithful mount and

the ride will begin through some of the

most spectacular parts of the Ozarks. At

around 5pm the group will return to the

Ranch Stables where you will be able to

pitch your tent. All weather tents will

make your stay enjoyable no matter what

Mother Nature decides to bring. The

range cooks will prepare a Cowboy

Cookout for the trail ride participants.

The evening will include campfire stories,

and perhaps a cowboy song or two. You

are welcome to bring your singing voice

and a guitar if you like.

On Sunday morning you will start your

day off with coffee (of course) and a

Cowboy Breakfast that is to die for. After

that it is back into the saddle for another

four hour morning ride. This could be the

best experience of your life…..and

certainly one you will never forget!

The Registration Form provides 2

options. Please complete and return as

soon as possible to the Ranch Office.

Isle of the Ozarks Saturday -September 3rd Working Together Makes It Work

Want to have a chance to really get dirty? This is it! Cloud

9 Ranch will be holding a Mud Bog on August 27th. This

is a timed event where participants compete to have the

best time going through our 100 foot mud pit! 50/50 on

prize money from entry fees, 4 classes to compete,

moving start, larger spectator area and improved pit!

Who will get thrown in the mud pit this time??

At our last Mud Bog, Director Kadye Ward agreed to be

thrown in the mud pit if $500 was raised for the C9VFD.

The money was raised ($528 in fact) and some ―friends‖

threw her in for the cause. Members are asking if anyone

will GO IN THE MUD PIT this time and raise even more

money for the C9VFD? WILL YOU BE NEXT?? If

you know someone you will, please contact Stephanie

Harrison at the Ranch Office 417-284-7321.

WORTH REPEATING

(FOUND ON FACEBOOK)

Someone once said—

‖There comes a time in your life

when you walk away from all the

drama and selfish people who create

it. You surround yourself with

people that are always there for you

and make you laugh. Forget the bad,

and focus on the good. Love the

people who treat you right, pray for

the ones who don’t. Life is too short

to be anything but happy.

Falling down is a part of life, getting

back up is living.‖

Craft House News

The Craft House is located just past Wilder

Springs II on the left. Some people think that it is

only for crafts and they really get a surprise when

they come in and find out that is also has a

Holiday Room, Book Room, New Item Room

and a Flea Market Room. Men that know that the

Craft House has a Flea Market Room like to go

and roam through it to see if they can find

anything for themselves.

All members of Cloud 9 Ranch may sell items

through the Craft House, just check with the

Craft House to find out the procedures. We

welcome sales from crafters.

The Craft House still has tables available for the

Labor Day Flea Market, just check at the Craft

House if you would like to reserve a table.

We will be having a bag sale starting Friday,

September 2nd through the 4th. All that you can

put into a bag from a selection of certain items

will only be $2.00 each. The sale will continue

September 6th through the 10th and the bags

from the selection of certain items will only be $1

each.
