Many enthusiastic ATVers arrived early Saturday, September 3, 2011 to assist the Dufferin Grey ATV Club in raising funds for the Childhood Cancer Canada Foundation.
This ride departed from Markdale in the early morning and the riders followed the trail through Grey Highlands and Chatsworth Townships.
Lunch was served at the opening of the new trail near Walters Falls before heading back to Markdale where prizes were given away.
The poker hand winners were Don Wright for top hand receiving the weekend getaway for two at Waterfalls Lodge. Jeff Elliot selected the jacket from Kymco Canada and Bruce Newman received the barbecue.
The biggest event of the day took place in front of the audience of riders as two of the members, Vera Lloyd and Paul Smith, donated their hair to the charity raising approximately $1,700.
