Nearly age 92, Marilyn Rich rode along -
Last year, she rode her horse the full 13 miles (after riding another
15 miles the day before). This year she choose the Bonneyville Carriage
ride to participate with her granddaughter.
Chris Brown led the race in the Bristol Police Car, and a number of
volunteers helped to register, feed, and assist the riders.

08 R.I.D.E. for D.A.R.E.
the day in photos
For the seventh year in a row, area riders saddled up for this annual event.
This popular R.I.D.E. (Raising Income for Drug Education) is sponsored by the Bristol Police Department
and the Bristol Marshal's Posse to fund the Bristol Elementary School's Drug Abuse Resistance Education
(D.A.R.E.) program.
The familiar 13 mile route starts at the Lightner Farm on County Rd. 104, and continues up in Michigan
and return to a bar-b-que meal cooked by the police and posse sponsors, prizes, and fellowship.
A number of area organizations participate by donating prizes and merchandise. For those who preferred
to just ride along, the Bonneyville Carriages provided another way to participate. Included in the
fee for both riders and ride-a-longs, was a special D.A.R.E. purple T-shirt.
