June 14th was a day that was filled with many significant things – and our Blue Rider Benefit was one of them. Cloudy and cool weather threatened our plans again, but gave way to a magical afternoon and evening. The atmosphere was beyond what we could have hoped for. Being able to include the horses in the festivities was the way it should be – they are the true stars.The bugs didn’t dare come and change the mood. Seeing so many faces here all for the same cause – to help uplift our work – makes our hearts overflow with gratitude. Our clients are often our heroes and we are so grateful to be able to continue our mission through the support we get.
Special thanks to our underwriters: Bilmar Veterinary Services, DeadRiver Company, John Field TreeService Inc., and Guido’s Fresh Marketplace. Also many thanks to our donors: Taft Farms, Wards Nursery, Domaneys Liquors and FineWines, Extra Special Teas, Egremont Fire Department, Red Rock Volunteer Fire Company, and David James Catering.
Many people gave hours of volunteer time to make this happen. Our MC Tom Gage and our musicians, The Wanda Houston Band, rounded out our fabulous evening, along with a great line-dancing interlude. Every person that was there brought their own special energy to make this event magic. Thanks!!
