 May News
And the winners are . . . Cooper, Maya Mae, Rusty, Tikaani, Lucy and Mia! Congratulations to the 6 Top Dog Models who will have their photos on the packages of Rainbow's Natural Nuggets Dog Treats. It will take a while to design and print the new packaging, before the new Top Dog packages are in the stores, so there is still time to collect last year's Top Dog labels – soon to be collector's items! Thanks to Catherine Reese Fine Art Photography for the wonderful photos of all the dogs, and, thanks to everyone who participated (over 100 dogs!) and voted. The Top Dog contest is always one of the most fun and exciting events at Rainbow. Remember, YOUR dog is always Top Dog with Rainbow.

The Highland Spring Trails Volunteers have been recovering and maintaining the trail system at historic Highland Springs Recreation Area for over 10 years.

Starting in May, the Highland Springs Trails Volunteers will be joining up with the Lake County Horse Council to begin this work. Everyone is welcome to join in for trail work days and trail rides or hikes. Keep up with all the happenings at HSTV's Facebook page or contact Kim Reilly at kimriley58@gmail.com for more information.
Angels for Minis is a pending 501 c3 non-profit miniature horse rescue that is dedicated to the well being of this unique breed. Their goal is to rehabilitate the abused, neglected or unwanted minis that are innocent victims of their circumstances. Angels for Mini's recently took in over 100 minis from our area, and need the horse community's support in caring for, providing veterinary care, and finding adoptive homes for these horses. 100% of donations go directly to caring for the minis. If you are interested in adopting, fostering or donating, please see Angels for Minis website, or contact Mary Stewart at 925-323-9352.
Don't forget to check the Rainbow Events page to stay up to date on equine events in our area. Coming up on Memorial Day Weekend, the Potter Valley Rodeo, May 24 – 27. Profits received from the Memorial Day Weekend festivities go toward the development of the Potter Valley Community Parks and Recreation property. This property is not only the location of the current rodeo grounds, but will also have a community building, county park and softball/soccer fields. The dream of having a permanent rodeo grounds, in addition to a centralized location for youth and community members to use and enjoy, is slowly becoming reality. Events kick off Saturday morning with the Main Street Parade, and continue all weekend with Potter Valley Volunteer Fire Department's Chicken BBQ, Junior Rodeo, Team Roping, Moonlight Dance, CCPRA and Local Rodeo, lawnmower races, axe throwing and wood cutting competitions, and finally the Lisa Christoferson Memorial Gymkhana and Playday on Monday.
