Within the past year, Reins to Recovery Inc. Therapeutic Riding Center has focused on its three programs.
To help sustain and grow them, the nonprofit organization has put a lot of effort into its largest fundraiser, known this year as The Mane Event.
The 11th annual fundraiser will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Bartholomew County Fairgrounds, 750 W. County Road 200S, Columbus. The event, open to the public, will include a barbecue dinner, a live auction and a silent auction.
Admission is free, but freewill donations will be accepted for the dinner.
The silent auction will run from 4 to 6 p.m., and Roger Dierckman of Holton will lead the live auction at 6 p.m. Auction items include resort packages, restaurant gift cards, golf packages, water park tickets, amusement park passes, zoo passes, dinner vouchers, hotel vouchers and more.
Easterling Entertainment will provide face painting from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
