the year, Te Equiery presents its readers with several specially themed issues such as Farm Fix Up and the Internationals. According to our survey, the August Photo
Contest issue is the most popular with 42 votes. Tis comes as no surprise to us considering we typically receive around 300 photo submissions for the contest.

Te submission period is open now, so get your entries in! Te second most popular themed issue is the
March Calendar of Activities. Tis issue re- ceived 32 votes. We are currently working on the 2024 Calendar of Activities so be sure to email your 2024 dates to
