Autism Awareness Event Saturday

posted on Pembina Valley Online April 30 2010

A family living with autism can have many struggles.

The South Central Autism Spectrum Disorder family support group and Keen Ridge Equine centre are helping these families.

They are joining for an autism awareness fun fair tomorrow.

The Keen Ridge Centre has an indoor riding arena in which they hold an equine assisted learning program.

Co-owner Brenda Seward says the day will be filled with games for kids where kids will take home a prize, and they will hold a silent auction.

The event takes place in the riding arena, so rain or shine it will take place.

Seward says the event takes place at Keen Ridge Equine Centre which is three miles south of Darlingford.

Entry fees are $25 per family, or $5 per person.

All money raised will go to the South Central A.S.D. family support group.

This is the first year the two organizations have attempted this event, and Seward says she hopes it is a success so they continue the tradition for years to come.
