“Our club has done this in the past and this time was the most that we’ve collected from our members,” said Publicity Officer Sally Johnson. “We’ll be giving back to the community of Prophetstown.”
The Tri-City Trail Riders is a non-profit organization that offers trail rides and other events throughout the year – some with horses and some without. They have an annual club meeting and an election of officers every January, and a dinner banquet and dance in the spring, with ticket sales open to members and non-members. The club donates to organizations that promote horse riding, as well as area campgrounds with equestrian parks.
If interested in joining the club or taking a trail ride, potential members can join the private Facebook group or mail their yearly dues of $10 to club treasurer Denny Johnson. Please make the check out to “Tri-City Trail Riders” and mail to: 17320 Star Road, Prophetstown, IL 61277, and include your mailing address and a phone number.
