As a result, all marketing and contact information was changed to reflect the new name, ie Central Valley CDS in Facebook, CentralValleyCDS.com website, and [email protected] email address. The 2020 Awards Dinner was held on March 3rd at Cattleman’s Ranch and was well attended with a great slide show, good food and fun, and many awards handed out. On December 5th, Craig Stanley held our annual Toys for Tots schooling show. Craig did a wonderful job organizing everyone and setting up for the show at La Dolce Vita in Clovis, California. It was a “sold out” show, well attended, and ended almost at the anticipated time for the last rider. Many riders were anxious to “get out” and attend an event!
