Event set for July 23
Carolina Carriage Club (CCC) holds a summer seminar every year, but this year it will be different. Organizers decided this year to make the event a benefit for local equestrian organizations.
The event, to be held from noon – 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 23 at the Green Creek Fire Department on Hwy. 9, will include a tack swap. Proceeds from the table fee paid by participants in the tack swap, plus any donations, will go to horse related organizations, funds and charities. Beneficiaries will be drawn from names entered by contributors and participants.
Any horse-related items may be displayed and sold in the swap, including antiques, tack, harness, vehicles, apparel, jewelry and art.
The seminar will also offer demos, educational videos and people to answer questions about carriage driving and other favorite horse activities. If there’s a particular topic you would like covered, organizers ask that you let them know in advance so they can try to accommodate your request.
Games and contests will be offered, too.
“Latina Raville has some fun events in mind, and not just limited to driving,” Barbara Madill said.
