What need has your organization addressed in the community due to South Country Co-op Limited support? We have been hosting this weekend of barrel racing for the past 17 years. It allows riders of all ages and skill levels to compete and have fun with their equine athlete partners. There are not many sports that 3 generations of riders can come together to compete, with and against each other and hopefully win some of the cash and prizes that have been donated. We have different age categories with the little ones as young as 3 years old competing in the PeeWee category as well as Youth, Open and the Seniors. It is a fun filled 3 days spent barrel racing, hanging out with our horses and friends and family. It is open to the public to come watch at no charge. To round out the weekend we have a potluck supper with entertainment on Saturday night with all donations going to Halo Air Ambulance. Please describe the support received from South Country Co-op Limited and the impact it has made The cash and the product for prizes allows the competitors to win some amazing prizes and payouts. What support is still needed and how can people learn more or get involved? Volunteers are always appreciated
