Event Features Line Dancing, Dinner, Raffle To Benefit Individuals with Disabilities
OTEGO—Community members will gather together for an evening of music, food, and dancing while supporting a local program that serves individuals with physical, mental, and emotional challenges when Athelas Therapeutic Riding hosts its annual barn dance on Saturday, July 12 from 4-8 p.m.
According to a press release, the family-friendly event will take place at Northfield Farm, the home of Athelas, and will feature line dancing instruction, a barbecue dinner, and a raffle with prizes donated by local businesses. All proceeds will directly support the therapeutic horses and programming that enable Athelas' work in the community, officials said.
"This barn dance has become an important annual fundraiser for our organization," said Katie Madonia, fundraising chair for Athelas Therapeutic Riding. "It brings together families, neighbors, and local businesses in the same space where our riders work with horses each week to build skills and confidence. This is a fun way to invite our community in and have fun, while raising funds critical to our riders’ success."
