Coe Hill Riders ATV Club Charity Ride for the Tri-Township Food Basket
The Coe Hill Riders ATV club (CHATV) raised $3,910 with their third and final charity ride of the season. The weather was perfect for the September ride, organized as a Poker run. The group of 60 riders and 40 machines gathered at the Coe Hill Pavilion to register, leaving shortly after 9 am following the safety instructions, provided by Event Coordinator, Ashley Pyle.
At the midway break along the ride, Director of Training Desi O’Brien gave a lesson on how to repair a flat tire on the trail. Every driver also got to take home a tire repair kit, courtesy of CHATV.
CHATV is extremely grateful to the businesses and individuals who donated wonderful prizes for the raffle. These include Ashley Kehoe/The Edge Bakery, Bancroft Cottage Rentals, Bear Ridge Campground & Cottages, CHATV, Carolyn Henderson, J. Donnelly Construction, Lisa McMaster, Old Hastings Gallery & Mercantile, Red Eagle Family Campground, Tait Lake Retreat and Wally’s Pub. The donated raffle prizes were valued at $1,222.00
Although some riders were unable to attend, they were still part of the poker game, and every registrant had a door prize ticket. Top poker prizes included $250.00 cash; second prize was a CHATV Hat & T-Shirt, and third was a $25.00 gift card to Bear Ridge Campground and Cottages.
CHATV provided a hot dog lunch at the pavilion following the ride and then distributed the Door prizes, the top three poker hand winners, and the raffle prizes.
Vice-President, Norm Lewis thanked all the CHATV volunteers who worked hard to organize the ride.
CHATV encourages all ATV riders to ride safely and to use the QuadON app which shows all of the OFATV trails across Ontario, in real time.
