It's Thursday, which means that we have Western Bonanza class this evening! Usually the Western Bonanza class meets twice a week. Tuesday nights are for committee work where each student meets with their committee to plan specifics for Western Bonanza weekend. Thursday nights the students meet as a whole and hear from various guest speakers who come to our class. In addition to our BRAND NEW blog this year, we will also have BRAND NEW Livestream broadcasting of our guest speakers! This year the Social Media and Publicity Committee aims to include you as Western Bonanza exhibitors and supports in the events leading up to Western Bonanza weekend! Each Thursday our guest speaker's biography will be posted on this blog. You can learn a little bit about the speaker and then tune into the Livestream during our class to hear what message they have to share! Our first speaker this week is Shauna Trusas, a "Western Bonanza Lifer".
