The Barn Dance with special contributor Penguin

Here is a late post about the barn dance (sorry, I was out of town), contributed by my favorite flightless fowl, Penguin!

June 5th a perfect day a day to be outside, enjoy the weather, be with horses and have fun with friends. Great day for a RideAbility barn dance! What is a barn dance you may ask. Well its a day where we give horse rides, have wagon rides, silent auction goes on, raffle, food, and end with a live band. It's one of the funnest fundraiser of the year. The chaos for the volunteers began back on Thursday night getting some stuff set up after horse exercise.but the real craziness started at 11am on that hot and humid Saturday. From the typical things of getting food out out to getting horses ready to handling unexpected things the volunteers worked really hard that morning. Before i a go on a big thank you to all the volunteers that made the barn dance possible. after all our crazy madness of getting stuff set up we were almost done and it was almost 3pm, time for the fun to be had, mother nature decided to through us a curve ball. It started to rain and rain and rain for as far as you could see all that u could see was dark clouds. Now this rain likely scared off many people from having fun but a lot of people did come out and had loads of fun. Our plans got changed a little to us having to do horse rides in our now even smaller indoor arena and the hay wagon got canceled. But luckily we had gotten a mule team with a covered wagon so people could still enjoy the wagon ride in the rain. The horse rides ended at 5pm with lots of people getting to ride there favorite horses. People really enjoyed the silent auction items and food. After the horses had been taken care of the live band began to play. All in all a very fun filled long day even if it was raining.
