The Creston and District Society for Community Living’s Therapeutic Riding Program is holding its third annual Art Trot on Feb. 8 and 9 in the Sunshine Room at the Creston and District Community Complex. Funds raised by the quality art show go directly to the program.

Regional artists have donated fabulous works of their own art, while others have donated unique pieces from their own homes as they “get lighter” and make room for new art. Tax receipts are issued to the donor for the actual sale price of the donated art.

Consider this an opportunity to create or re-gift a work of art or an interesting craft to the Therapeutic Riding Program. Last year there were 40 therapeutic riders and eight horses to care for and train. Grants and donations allow this program to offer our community a superb program at a reasonable price.

For more information, contact Michelle at 250-402-6793 or mwhiteaway@hotmail.com, or Barb at 250-428-2882 or bmirth@shaw.ca. Donations are gratefully accepted at the CDSCL office (205 Seventh Ave. N.), which is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
