Waldo County Riding and Driving Club celebrates successful season

Sat, 11/18/2017 - 9:00am

BELFAST — The Waldo County Riding & Driving Club held their awards banquet and luncheon on Sunday, Oct. 29 at Troy Howard Middle School in Belfast.

Officers and directors were elected with Megan Winchester returning as President; Trish Crowell for Vice President; Treasurer Sarah Marriner; returning Secretary Avis Winchester with Communications/Assistant Secretary Cheryl Anderson. Three year directors Teri Harrison and Chantel Flewelling continue their terms of 2017 to 2020; with Judy Dishner and Richard Winchester as one year directors; and Sandy Martz and Twyler Webster as two year directors. 

The Chinese raffle was a huge success with $372 in ticket sales and many happy winners of a hand made quilt, gift cards, dorm refrigerators, tack supplies, books, horse toys and many more wonderful donated items. Lunch was an Italian potluck with delectable entrees, salads and desserts.

Thank you gifts were presented to 2017 officers and our most valuable show helpers; Dan Dishner and Bea Maclean. Cheryl Anderson gave a fitting tribute and thank you to our President, Megan Winchester, with a gift card to Gass Horse Supply in Orono. Our forty two sponsors were recognized with many of them as banner sponsors and contributors for many years with the club. Without the sponsor contributions, our awards at our shows and banquet would not be possible.
