Rivendell Fundraiser - Ice Cream!

A fundraiser for the Rivendell Recreation Center, the horse riding facility in South Wales where Val does her therapeutic horse riding (for her MS), will be held from 6-9 p.m. Wednesday, October 15, at the Cold Stone Creamery at 4110 Maple Road (near Sweet Home Road) in Amherst.
Cold Stone Creamery will contribute 10-30 percent of the evening's sales, which will go to hay purchases and barn repairs. The people there do a fantastic job (I have had the chance to observe them in action a few times) with the riders, who have either physical or mental challenges, sometimes both, as well as the horses. Val has improved her leg strength, balance and endurance, and she is almost walking on clouds when she comes home from her lessons; she used to ride about 15 years ago, before she was diagnosed, and this has allowed her to ride again.
So, join us for some cold treats; hey, this gives you the perfect excuse to eat ice cream.
