Horseback riding was one of the main attractions for kids
during the Bluevale Homecoming celebration on July 24
and 25. Energetic kids lined up for a turn on one of the
horses supplied by Turkey Run Ranch and Ashley
Johnston couldn't conceal her excitement as Keshia
Bishop led her horse around the ring. (Elyse DeBruyn photo)
