🚴‍♀️🇺🇸🥇 Come cheer on Hannah Roberts BMX Wednesday, July 31 at 7am for the LIVE Paris 2024 Olympics Watch Party and at 7pm for the Re-Watch Party! Good luck Hannah and “Go for the gold!”

In August 2021, over 2,000 people cheered Hannah Roberts BMX on at the Tokyo Olympics where she went on to take home the Silver Medal! According to NBC Sports, it was one of the largest Olympics live watch parties ever.

Hannah is returning to the Olympics in Paris this year, and we want to cheer her on again. On Wednesday, July 31st, we'll have a live feed of her event at 7am EST and a rebroadcast at 7pm! Join us down at the Common to show Hannah the support she has from her hometown. We ride with Hannah! 🏅🚴

We Can Ride 4-H Club 🐎
See below if you can lend a hand to a great organization that helps others! Send them a message on THEIR page. This was shared from one of our team members who is involved with this group:
🐎🐴
Kicked off the 2024 WCR season tonight with the parent meeting great news: the club has grown, there is a need and we are able to offer a service. Bad news is we don’t have nearly enough volunteers and possibly horses to provide a service to the amount of kids that showed up tonight. 🥺
If you have been wanting to find a way to give back to your community or you have an amazing horse waiting to be discovered as a therapy horse, please please text or DM me we can use all the help we can get. This may be the year we have to put kids on a waiting list. 😞
