Fun
Day a Tremendous Success!
By Cy Peterson
 What
a fantastic day!! We had perfect weather to set the
stage for our best Fun Day ever! We had over 80 entries
and so many raffle prizes I could not even count them.
The costumes were absolutely incredible! Harry Potter
was there, the Runaway Bride was there; we had a dragon
and a princess, a life guard, pirate, dinosaur and more!
Everybody was so cute!! Our Club Café was outstanding!
Thank you Joe, Jim and Larry for such wonderful cuisine!
You make quite a team and should do this professionally!
We had tremendous support from the community for raffle
prizes so we were still raffling after dark. We met
our goal of $2,000 to give to St. Judes and I know they
will be pleased.
Fun
Day also included the raffle for the Patriot, the ½
Arabian gelding. The benefit was for the Anna Crawford
Home. After paying for expenses, (advertising, printing,
etc.) we raised approximately $1700 for the Home. Wow!
How exciting is that? Altogether, Fun Day brought in
over $3700 for our targeted charities!
Thank
you to all the volunteers and participants! We could
not have done it without you! |

Cobb Park May Offer Lovely Horse Trails
Over
a year ago Cobb County leased 1,400 acres from the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (Corps) that is located west of Acworth adjacent to
Lake Allatoona. The intent is that the park will be developed as
a passive park with trails for horses, bicyclists, and walking/jogging.
There remains indecision about whether the three user categories
will share the same trails (preferred by equestrians and bicyclists)
or if there will be separate and much shorter trails for each user
category. Assuming that park management plans do not change before
then, the park will be open again for equestrians starting in January
2006, after 10:00 a.m. each day. In February the time restriction
will be removed so one can then ride anytime during the daylight
hours. The trails have not been approved or constructed yet. But,
there are wonderful meadows for riding and a large parking space.
This is a great place to ride. Watch the newsletter for more details
next month.
