Southern STARRS will hold its 12th annual benefit trail ride fundraiser on October 27 at Long C Trails in Westmoreland, TN.

Harry succumbed to cancer several months ago.
Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the ride will begin at 10:00. Riders can go through the obstacle course before or after the ride for additional points. The trail is about 10-miles round-trip. After the ride, participants will enjoy a BBQ lunch and the Grand Prize winner will be announced. The Grand Prize this year is an Apple iPAD sponsored by Best Buy of Mt. Juliet, TN.
There will also be a Silent Auction featuring gifts just in time for Christmas. Each participant will receive a goody bag valued at approximately $20.
