President’s Message
It’s hard to believe fall is here already and another show season is over. As we wrap up the year, I would like to take a moment to thank some key supporters of EOQHA. Thanks to our volunteers. We have individuals who are not mem- bers of the EOQHA Executive that donate their time and energy to help make our circuits run smoothly. As always, we thank our loyal
sponsors! Without them, we would not be able to present the quality shows and awards that our members currently enjoy. I urge all members to support our sponsors whenever
possible to thank them for helping make our circuits so successful. I would also like to thank the 2012 EOQHA Executive for helping make this year a great success. We have dedicated individuals that sign up for tasks year after year because they want to see great circuits held in Eastern Ontario every year.
Please feel free to contact any board member for more information on our 2012 shows or to give us some feedback.

Circle the Course a Great Success
Fort Erie, September 24th - Although the weatherman was calling for showers on Sunday afternoon, sunshine ended up ruling the day at Fort Erie Race Track for the Circle the Course for Cancer and COPE event.
Organized by a number of volunteers, this was the first time in the track’s 115 year his- tory that the racing sur- face was opened up for the public to enjoy. Hundreds of racing fans, community leaders, horse people and citi- zens of Fort Erie and the surrounding area, took part in walking the one mile oval.
Participants were asked to make a cash donation to the Canadi- an Cancer Society or a

Donations for both the Canadian Cancer Society and COPE will continue to be accepted at the race track until the end of the live racing season on October 30th.

non perishable food donation to COPE. Those people who made donations received a commemorative lapel pin and/or a commemo-
rative wristband cele- brating Fort Erie Race Track’s 115th Anniver- sary.
Donations or food and money started pour-
ing in at 11:00 am.
“It was truly an overwhelming response from our community, said volunteer Becky Singleton. “People were more than generous with their donations, giving much more than we had anticipated.”
A large horse trail- er which is meant to hold two horses was filled to the roof with food donations for COPE, Fort Erie’s local food bank. The food will be delivered on Wednesday at noon by a number of volunteers. In total $5,000 was raised for the Canadian Cancer Society. The race track will make a cheque presentation on
Sunday, September 30th during the live racing card.
“It is extremely uplifting to have such a large and diverse group
of people support this event,” said FELRC Chief Operating Officer Rick Cowan. “We never anticipated a turnout this large and are
