18th Annual Cutest Kids Contest
8:00am / Allison Ragsdale Photography
Happening March 2 - March 10   Founded by Kids Rock, hosted by Allison Ragsdale Photography, this is the 18th annual Cutest Kids Contest!   This year, we built a one-of-a-kind "Enchanted Forest" set for the Cutest Kids Contest!   Dress your kiddo safari or fairy or in earth tones, neutrals or pastels.   Bring props like an animal or things you'd find in an enchanted forest or use any of ours (including a bubble machine)! We also have a mushroom stool and wooden stump.   We'll have fruit snacks and lint rollers on hand too!   Each kiddo will get a quick and easy 15-minute session in our studio.   Each session comes with a credit to use on your order. In the past we included a 5x7. By popular demand, we are going to give you a credit instead. Feel free to use it on a 5x7 if you want.   All orders will be done online at your convenience after the session. All kiddos will have a secure website you can order from.   Let us know what photo is your favorite and we will upload it to a website for voting. May the cutest kiddo(s) win.   1st, 2nd and 3rd will get prizes. 1st prize will be a $1500 gift card to Allison Ragsdale Photography! 2nd will get $1000 and 3rd $500!

Register Now! Ladies Night 1.0 at Horse Empower!
9:00am / Horse Empower Indoor Arena
There is just nothing like the bond that develops between women and horses. It's an experience, a connection like no other and they teach us so much in the process. Get up close and personal with our horses. Build trust and confidence. Develop new communication skills, self-awareness and experience firsthand how our horses respond and embrace you as part of their herd. Our Ladies Night is an excellent avenue to foster new relationships and network within our 4 Corners Community. Each month we will have a new and exciting exercise that will have you working with our horses through obstacles and problem-solving exercises that will build on the last, promoting learning, self-discovery and a unique 'girls' night' horse experience you won't forget!
