We had about 40 riders who enjoyed the trail ride and all that good fried chicken! A special thanks goes out to Mr. Paul Shelton, who allowed us to ride across his farm, Buffaloe Creek. Many of the riders are already looking forward to next year!

11/17/07 - Blitz Build

Our first Blitz Build was a huge success and a blessing to all involved. Work began early Saturday morning with the help of over 150 showing up. The house was under roof and ready for the final touches by mid-afternoon Sunday.
