EXCITING NEW PROJECT HAPPENING AT NEECA THIS FALL!

At our recent July meeting the NEECA Board of Directors voted unanimously to greenlight yet ANOTHER exciting project that will be taking place at NEECA this year, hopefully in September. This project will be in addition to the brand new NEECA jumps purchased at the start of the year, along with the new shed installed next to the Althea Bramhall Driving Arena. We are very excited about this new project and can't wait to share it with everyone. But we are going to let the anticipation build, and will announce the project when it's "in the works" and we have some great pictures to share.

Over the past 4 years or so, we have been averaging over $20,000 each year in improvements at NEECA including, but not limited to: Food Booth, Well with two hydrants next to main arena, widening of road leading to Confidence Course, new jumps and rails, new signage, new obstacles added to Confidence Course, new NEECA Nature trail, warm-up arena footing replaced, driving arena created, PA system wiring put underground, speakers installed in trailer parking driveway. We managed to do all that AND donate an Equine Rescue Kit to the Athol Fire Department!



All of these improvements have been funded by membership fees, profit from the numerous events we offer over the year, a few small grants, and generous donations from our supporters. We strive to constantly move forward in our goal to expand NEECA's offerings, and improve the park itself, making it more functional and attractive.

So keep an eye out in September when you're up there and maybe you'll be able to spot our newest improvement that will be taking place before we officially announce it!

Shouldn't be too hard to notice. ;)

NEECA SPRUCE UP!!

We have a few quiet weeks at NEECA between events, but we're not letting them go to waste. Thanks to the efforts of Bryan Mansfield, you are going to see some BIG changes around the NEECA Main Arena next time you visit the park. Our little brown storage shed has been moved, we got rid of the broken fencing and replaced it with brand new white PVC fencing, the jumps and poles will now be stored behind yet another white PVC privacy fence located closer to the main arena. This much needed spruce up was accomplished over a two day period by Bryan and has really made the main arena and parking area much more attractive. Nearly everything that happens at NEECA happens because of our wonderful volunteers!
