CHAPS Ride/Walk-A-Thon


It's time to saddle up for the CHAPS Ride/Walk-A-thon. This is the annual fundraiser for the CHAPS program. CHAPS is a therapeutic riding program for individuals with physical, mental or emotional disabilities. My horse Roanie and I plan to be there Saturday for the event. The ride starts at 9:30a.m. at Camp Tecumseh. If you don't have a horse, you can always take part in the walk that starts at 10:00a.m. Camp Tecumseh is a beautiful setting for the event. Afterwards, there is lunch, an auction and the children give a demonstration. It is so rewarding to see them smile and laugh as they show off what they have learned while on the back of their 'trusted steed.'
For more information on the event, you can call (765) 563-3797 or (765) 494-8433.
