At Cidermill Farms on Ferriss Road in Harrow, there is a constant buzz of activity as volunteers of all ages prepare for the first ever Country 95.9 Rock ‘N Horse Festival to be held over the Victoria Day weekend at this picturesque site.
Cidermill owner Patricia Laing, who along with numerous helpers is working to ready the farm for next weekend for an influx of visitors from all over South-West Ontario, says “This is going to be the biggest country music and horse show we have ever seen in our region. Spectators are in for a treat – they can choose from barrel-racing, rodeo and hunter jumper competitions as well as live music all three days of the festival.”
Local acts EXIT 31, Crystal Gage and Jody Rafoul who will be playing along with headliner Aaron Lines. Also featured are the Dixie Chiclets, Legends of Country, Garth Brooks Fresh Horses Tribute and many more.
As the Laing family and their partners, Gerard and Christine Bernauer, and Ted Boomer install new fences and ready the paddocks for the weekend’s events, Cidermill riders are prepping for the competitions. A fierce race is on to raise the largest team sponsorship for Saturday’s Hunter Team Challenge, proceeds from which will go to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. Julie Macfarlane, a Cidermill rider and breast cancer survivor says “Everyone is always excited about a show, but this is a show with a difference – we are raising money for a cause that we were all touched by this year.” Along with Macfarlane, three other Cidermill parents had treatment for breast cancer this year and two other survivors, Stephanie Jackson and Robyn Miller, will be riding in competition over the weekend.
Pat Laing adds: “We are looking forward to welcoming visitors of all kinds to Cidermill – the site is 100% family-friendly and whether you are a horse enthusiast or just like hanging out on the farm and listening to the bands, we can guarantee a great time - and at the same time a chance for us all to contribute to breast cancer research in our community.”
