Fun Show at Kerkaken Acres

  • Starts: 10:00 AM
  • Ends: 4:00 PM
Okay friends… it’s almost time to have a little fun at Kerkaken Acres!
Our Fun Show is happening October 24th at 10:00 AM and you’re definitely going to want to come hang out with us!
We’ve got fun classes, good horses, lots of laughs and probably at least a little bit of chaos because… horses.
And before you ask… YES, we have a HORSELESS CLASS! So if you don’t have a horse, don’t ride, or just want to participate without actually getting on a horse, we’ve got you covered.
Bring the kids, bring your friends, bring your cheering section and come spend the day with us. You can ride, watch, laugh at your friends, cheer someone on or just enjoy a beautiful fall day at the farm.
And the best part? All proceeds benefit the Chincoteague Pony Drill Team!
October 24th
10:00 AM
Kerkaken Acres
Come have some fun with us and support a great group of kids while you’re at it!
We’ll see you there!
