Annual Meet & Greet Banquet

Each Spring, CFD has the Annual Meet & Greet Banquet. This year we are proud to announce our banquet location for 2010 will be Sunday April 25th at Timpano Italian Chop House, a very elegant and beautiful restaurant. We have a large banquet room, servers, and cocktail wait staff dedicated just to us. We are also very excited about the delicious menu our Banquet Chair arranged for us. See below. Banquet attendees will receive a souvenir hand etched dressage wineglass by Nancy Qualls Glassware. We'll have both raffle items and a Silent Auction this year.

Please note our Banquet Sponsors who graciously donated items, products, or services to be used as Raffle or Silent Auction items for our Banquet. Their names and donations are shown in the right sidebar and link to their existing websites. If you would like to make a donation to our banquet either in a service or product, click here. We need your 'stuff'.

Our annual banquet provides CFD the opportunity for riders, horse owners, Sponsors and their families to meet and socialize in a non-competitive environment.  The banquet is in a dinner setting where everyone is met at the entrance by the current CFD Board and may sit where they chose.  Each purchased banquet ticket receives one raffle ticket.  Additional raffle tickets may be purchased throughout the evening.  Once the dinner has been completed, riders/horse owners are recognized for their accomplishments. In addition, special awards are announced and people acknowledged.  And as always throughout the evening raffle tickets are drawn and raffle prizes are given to the ticket winner!  The evening is completed with a good time by all.
