REACH Huron has now finalized plans for a major fundraising event which will be held in the Terrace Dining Room at the Mohawk Racetrack on June 3, 2011.

While the evening will be hosted at a standardbred racetrack, REACH Huron is looking to all agricultural, equine and education partners to attend to help celebrate the charitable value of REACH Huron and to partake in a relaxing and fun evening.

The evening offers a number of highlights:

• The special guest will be Carol Mitchell, Honourable Minister of Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs

• Live standardbred racing action featuring the Casual Breeze Stakes

• Central Ontario Standardbred Association (COSA) has donated a special $5,000 betting pool and each guest will have the chance of winning the opportunity to place a $500 bet on one of the evening’s races. Proceeds from a successful bet will be split 50/50 between the guest and REACH Huron

• Door prizes will include the Great Canadian Gaming-donated three-day overnight stay at the River Rock Casino Resort, Vancouver, BC

• Each guest will enjoy the tremendous buffet provided by WEG, have a chance at the COSA sponsored $500 bet or one of our exciting door prizes and they will also be given a $20 betting voucher and an OLG slot offer for the evening. (photo Id required)
