BSTRA AGM & Awards Banquet

We had 64 people attending our year end awards banquet on February 4th at Coachmen’s Lodge in Bellingham, MA. And because it was Superbowl Sunday, we had the entire place to ourselves. A nice spacious room accommodated all our needs and the food they prepared was quite scrumptious.

Thanks to Carolyn Weeks for setting up the slide show of all our events from 2017. It was a lot of pictures and I hope everyone enjoyed them.

Long time supporter of BSTRA, Chris-tine Taylor, was there telling us all about VoxxLife socks and insoles.

Special guests, Mike Travers and his wife Joan accepted our invitation and gra-ciously presented the Joe Travers Memo-rial Award which honors his father.

Following our family style, sit down lunch, we started our afternoon by dispensing with the regular order of business and proceeded with the Election of our 2018 Board of Directors & Officers. I was very pleased to see that we even had a nomina-tion from the floor.

Vanessa Gniadek’s

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT The EquiGroomer is more than just a shedding blade—it’s a sim-

ple tool that gently removes loose hair, dirt and dander from your

pet’s coat leaving it incredibly soft, smooth and shiny. Designed to

work like a shedding stone but without the mess, the blade’s teeth

grab loose hair by the ends so there’s no pulling, discomfort or

damage to the skin or coat.

GUARANTEED SAFE ON YOUR PET’S SKIN AND COAT

The teeth are extremely short so they never touch the skin. The

blade grabs just the dry, scaly hair leaving the healthy hair alone

even when used every day. In fact, daily use actually improves the

quality of the coat.

DURABLE and LONG LAST-

ING

The EquiGroomer ’s solid wood

handle is coated with a tough

finish that’s easily wiped clean.

The blade, which is made from hardened steel, is coated with a

protective paint to help prolong its life.

TAKES THE STRESS OUT OF GROOMING

Perfect for animals with sensitive skin or those who dislike being

groomed. They’ll just think they’re being pet which is a good feel-

ing for both you and your favorite furry friends.

You’ll find more information, videos and reviews at their website:

www.equigroomer.com

EquiGroomer is a BSTRA Blue Ribbon Sponsor
