"According to our master plan, we decided that horses would all come on the east side so that people could be in one area and horses in another," he told those attend ing the meeting. He noted that the pavilion attracts square dancers every week and "last summer there was not a night when it was not used." Mr. Gunnell indicated that the Arabian Horse Show now wants to come in for an en campment. A horseback ride with one stop in Denver, one here and the third in Washington has also been discussed with the For est Service.
