Ride ‘em Cowboy!
Runamuk Benefit Trail Ride
Shine up yer spurs and dust off yer chaps, it's that time
again! You got it...the 3rd Annual Runamuk Benefit Trail Ride, located at
Runamuk Guest Ranch in Roundup, Montana. The date is June 24, 2006, and will
feature an enjoyable 15 mile trail ride, food galore, a barn dance and just a
whole lotta fun!
Enjoy an afternoon riding horseback or sitting comfortably
in a horse-drawn wagon. While on the trail you’ll see the glorious vistas of
the Bull Mountains. This enjoyable adventure leads you through timbered trails,
open meadows and over sandstone rimrock. At the half-way point, you can tie
your horse up and enjoy local "ranch-raised beef barbecued burgers" complete
with all the fixin's! Yum! Afterward, meander your way back to the ranch with
more fantastic views and a gander at a homestead cabin.

Once back at the ranch, relax before dinner while you kick
back and enjoy a wine social and live Bluegrass music provided by “Highway
302”. This year, the dinner menu features a fantastic pig roast. Can’t you
just smell it now! But don't leave yet! There's a barn dance to top off your
night!

Come join the fun, which promises
to provide a great time for all ages. Pitch a tent or contact Roundup
Motels for room or cabin rentals. You can bring your own horse, or arrange
to ride a well-trained ranch horse. Either way, you’ll enjoy these awesome
Montana trails. Horse boarding is available for a reasonable fee. Also
equine massage is performed throughout the day by appointment.
Recommended donations are $20 for the trail ride and $35
for the dinner, wine social, and dance...however, any donation amount is
welcomed. Please pre-register by June 19, 2006.
Proceeds benefit The Chase Hawks Memorial Association's
Community Crisis
Fund. The Chase Hawks Memorial Association is a Montana based non-profit
corporation raising money in Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas to disburse to
families in crisis. This Association awards grants as well as organizing
volunteer efforts and labor. It also co-sponsors fund-raising benefits for
families facing crisis situations that fall outside traditional sources of aid.
Funds are distributed on a non-discrimination basis.
The
Association has become a viable source of help for families needing short-term
assistance or help with travel, facilities and local benefits that are not
addressed by larger charities or insurance because of immediacy or
circumstances. The Association has been able to effectively pull together
volunteer efforts from the community at large and provide media focus and
corporate cooperation at an unprecedented level. This is primarily due to the
universal appeal of a community crisis fund and the fact that the organization
is an all volunteer effort.
