Subject: Heads Up! Therapeutic Riding Program

I want to add to those individuals who have sent in praise about Heads Up! Therapeutic Riding Program.  My daughter rides at Heads Up and has also volunteered as a side walker.  It is a great program that is beneficial for so many folks, children and adults alike.  I have been amazed at the increase in self confidence, coordination, and posture since she has been riding.  We are so fortunate to have this program in Chatham County!

Subject: Thank you

Saturday’s 9th Annual ClydeFEST was an absolute success in every definition of the word! Based on unofficial counts, the turnout hovered around 1000 children, parents, and grandparents who enjoyed the authentic, homemade, county fair whimsy of ClydeFEST.  More importantly, the day made innumerable unforgettable happy memories for hundreds of citizens of Chatham County and beyond. There’s no better measure of success than that.
