What's Up

Benefit ride for Deena McClure April 9
Circle W Riders Horse Club will be sponsoring a benefit ride for the Deena McClure family Saturday, April 9, at 10 a.m. The ride will start at Bob Pribles’ home, 1850W 700S. Instead of money we are asking for nonperishable food items. You don’t have to have a horse to ride. We will have a wagon to ride on. After the ride we plan on eating around 1:30 p.m., followed by an Easter egg hunt. Bring a dozen eggs to hide and a dish to share.

If you cannot come and still want to help, there will be a van parked in the Bluffton Motor Works parking lot on Wayne Street across from the high school drive. Watch for the signs. This will be on Sunday, April 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
