Lot #3 Trail Ride with Mayor Morris Flewwelling
A historic trail ride for 4 along the Red Deer River valley, including pre-ride refreshments and dinner at the Mayor’s Residence. Testimonial from 2009 winner: “Together with Morris and an outrider, we enjoyed a scenic ride in the highlands east of Red Deer, said to be the highest point between Winnipeg and the Rocky Mountains, over permitted trails and land. The terrain was interesting and hilly, and the scenery spectacular. We had insight into what it must have been like to “ride herd’ as we cut through pastures of grazing cattle. You should bid this year – it will give you memories to cherish!”
