These skills may include but will not be limited to making flyers, advertising, hiring judges or clinicians, preparing the arena for the scheduled event, analyzing arena footing for the different events, finding ring stewards, announcers, show secretaries, bookkeeping, gate people, ordering ribbons and numbers, making arrangements for stalling, keeping track of year end award points, and hiring concessions if needed. Students in the course will have hands on experiences running two open shows and/or one show and one clinic/event.
