The Equestrian Therapy Program held its 22nd annual Ride-A-Thon/Pumpkin Festival at Fassett Farm. Despite the rainy weather, the day was a huge success due to the countless hours of preparation and hard work by the staff, volunteers, families, riders and, of course, the horses.
The support of the people of Lima and the surrounding communities is truly heartwarming. Because of your generosity, the ETP Program is celebrating its 32nd year of providing equine facilitated therapies and activities to more than 85 riders each week.
Thanks go to our platinum and gold sponsors: CCR Realtors, Potash Corp., Emerson Climate Technologies, Kewpee, HCF, CIAO, Magnam Truck, Hunt & Johnson, Huber and Associates, St. Marys Chrysler, Lima Auto Mall, Patricia Klitgaard and Ann Fassett. Our friends at the Husky Action Club made sure participants and visitors were well fed, providing a wonderful lunch for all. The Rev. David Harris and the 3rd Floor Band were outstanding. Mark Reineke ran a great live auction. We would also like to thank Chief Supermarkets, Biggby Coffee and White Cottage Rentals for their donations and supplies. Thank you to all of our sponsors, board members and the individuals and businesses who donated auction and raffle items. So many people came together to make this such a meaningful day.
Thank you so much to all who helped make it such a successful Ride-A-Thon!
