The Baker Family of Ord will provide cowboy music and entertainment after the Saturday evening steak fry and inspirational services on Sunday morning.Participants have several choices for lodging that include camping at the trailhead, staying in cabins at the Nebraska 4-H Camp, camping in nearby campgrounds, or staying in local motels.For the non-horseback riders, wagons pulled by teams are available. Wagon riders will enjoy riding along many trails through the trees and hills as well, Teel said."Previous rides have proven to be fun and exciting for all ages as riders enjoy the forest and the Sandhills by horseback," he said. "Windmills, livestock, wildlife and wildflowers are common sights along the trails."Proceeds from the trail ride go to the Nebraska 4-H Foundation to help support many 4-H activities and events.For more information and registration information, call Sinda Dux at (402) 472-1178 or a local UNL Extension office.
