SendonWay Equestrian Center

It was a BLAST! SendonWay Equestrian Center would like to extend a special thank you everyone who attended our 2007 Fourth of July Party. Once again, our "request" with the weather department came through and we had a beautiful day and a spectacular evening. But before we can show you all of the wild and crazy pictures, there are a few thank you's we have to cover: * Thanks to Greg Stanton and Bob Lewis for making our fireworks display out of this world! We can't wait to see what you have in store for everyone next year! * Thanks to Bernie Lewis for making 300 lbs of potato salad and TONS of other food, and still finding time to serve as the Head of the Decorating Committee. * Thanks to Mark Sustin for making a second Cornhole set for guests to enjoy. It was a definite "hit!" He also supplied all of the guests with the fantastic Mood Mugs. Thanks Mark! * Thanks to Mike Wycuff for once again risking life and limb by serving as our "Outdoor Illumination Fireworks Specialist" and Beth Wycuff and her cats for preparing the gross, yet tantalizing, Kitty Litter Cake. * Thanks to Courtney Yeager and Shammer Jake for treating the guests to an afternoon of exciting pony rides! * Thanks to Sheila Hultgren for honoring the annual SendonWay Sweetie tradition by wearing the crown with pride and enthusiasm! We know she'll make us proud as the fulfills her duties as the 2007 SendonWay Sweetie. * Thanks to Judy Sunder for serving on the Decorating and Party Preparation Committee. All of the guests were in awe of the placement of the ornamental driveway flags. * Thanks to Laura Wagner for assisting in party setup and post-party cleanup and to her dog Lilly for clearing the ground of any extra food that may have fallen from our guest's plates. * Thanks to Tom Yurchick Jr. for driving the orange Husqvarna parade vehicle and carting a load of children safely through the parade route. * Thanks to our oldest and dearest friends in the Kostelnick clan for trekking all the way to the party to join us this year! We've never seen anything quite like Mark Mason's karaoke rendition of Michael Jackson's Beat It...and it may take a year before we're ready to see it again! * Thanks so much to our friend Jeff with Marco's Pizza for supplying new speakers for our sound system and so many tasty pizzas! * Thanks to Munson Mini Mart for allowing us to purchase about $400 worth of ice to keep the drinks cool and refreshing. * Thanks to David, Scott and Sarah Wycuff for decorating the parade vehicles and distributing popcorn and cotton candy throughout the party...you guys did a great job! * Thanks to Lang Roofing for finishing the barn's roof repairs just in time for our party. Everyone agreed you did a spectacular job! With all of that out of the way, sit back and get your scrolling fingers limber...you have a lot of party pictures to see!
	As usual, a large amount of preparation went into preparing for the 2007 4th of July party. As you can see here, our highly qualified Decorating Team was busy building a new stage for those brave enough to sing and dance!











	The party had TRULY begun....the guests have started to arrive!





	Much like riding his own motorcycle, Tom Jr. demonstrates his bravery by riding the tractor with no hands!
	Ever the watchful father, Tom Sr. is ready to deploy his vicious, man-eating dog in order to stop his son's reckless tractor riding.




	Uh-oh...trouble has arrived!




	What style... What grace... What Cornhole form you have Laura!



Tom resorted to trash-talking and finger-pointing in order to intimidate his Cornhole opponents.



	Here she is folks...the 2006 SendonWay Sweetie is preparing to hand over her crown!
	You guessed it....here is THE 2007 SENDONWAY SWEETIE! What a sight to behold!
	We're not quite sure how SendonWay boarder Sheila Hultgren was able to make herself look THIS beautiful! But the second we told her she had been nominated and won the spot as the 2007 SendonWay Sweetie, she started searching all of the most expensive stores in greater tri-state area for this fantastic outfit!
	"What the......????"

	As party guests were arriving, you could literally see them mouthing the words "What the ?!@* is that?" as they gazed upon our SendonWay Sweetie!
	Bernie explains to Sheila exactly what will happen when she is delivered to the stage to receive her crown.

	Nancy and Greg's dog Nikki was given the job of escorting guests to the party area.


	Here the 2005 and 2006 SendonWay Sweeties wait patiently to get the show on the road so they can honor the 2007 Sweetie.
	We're not sure how Nancy was able to see out from under her cape as she drove the head tractor in the parade... but thankfully there were no casualties along the parade route!


	Thanks to Mark Sustin, all of the party guests were treated to these high-quality "Mood Mugs." Here we see Michael Yeager proudly displaying his!
	Can't you just see the excitement on their faces!? Preparing to lead the parade are Sarah Wycuff and Kristin Mason.
	As you can see here, Scott Wycuff took his parade duties VERY seriously!


	The 2007 SendonWay Sweetie proudly waves to the onlookers from the back of the convertible as she is delivered to the party area.

	We're not sure, but Sheila was either grabbing onto her escort for dear life...or all of the excitement was making her a little frisky!

	After a very moving and touching speech, Mary Yeager proudly handed over her SendonWay Sweetie crown to Sheila.


	Sheila's husband Tom and friend Judy Sunder tried to take photos in between fits of hysterical laughter.
	Master of Ceremonies Bob Lewis was nearly unable to speak as Sheila paraded around on stage for the crowd!







	Kate Sunder and Sharon Lewis can hardly wait to fill their party mugs!


	Greg Stanton takes his Cornhole playing VERY seriously!


	Kate demonstrates how versatile the SendonWay Mood Mugs can be. You can fill them with anything, including wine!

Even Courtney's pony Jake enjoyed a little liquid refreshment from his SendonWay Mood Mug! And that better just be water he's drinking Courtney!!
	That wild and crazy Laura Wagner is always ready to pose for the camera!







	Even Jake "dressed up" for the party!




	This is what Courtney's feet looked like after hours of giving pony rides with only her flip flops on! YUK!






	Look at Bernie flashing those gang signs!!



	* Please ask Kate for the full explanation of this photo...
	Seriously...could they get their eyes open ANY WIDER????
	Isn't this the way any good party should end... with someone needing a BARF BAG!!!
Thank you again to all of our friends and family who came to our 2007 Fourth of July party. We can't wait to see you again next year!
