The Blue Ridge Hunter Jumper Association (BRHJA) will host a Hunter Derby to benefit the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation. This exciting event is scheduled for Saturday, May 4, at 5:30 p.m. at Harmon Field. All proceeds from the Saturday night dinner will help with the Building on Excellence Campaign facility upgrades at St. Luke’s, a 25-bed acute care, full service hospital. Last year, more than 300 people came out and enjoyed this event with family and friends. The dinner served ringside, features Foothills Mountain Barbecue with side dishes and ice cream sundaes for dessert. This family event will also feature a caricature artist and kid-friendly temporary horse tattoos. Tickets are available by calling Meshelle Colvin, executive director of the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation, at 828-894-2693. Above: Guests enjoy last year’s show.
