Hello Everyone,
The weather this late summer and fall has been unbelievably gorgeous and sunny every day. Unfortunately, we are desperate for rain as our area is heading into the official drought category.
Our speaker for this month’s meeting will be Dominic Sinopoli of Sinopoli Insurance Agency in Great Barrington. He will speak to us about equine-related insurance options.
Please check “Listing of Events” on this site for details on other upcoming events. The Society hosts a variety of events, such as driving clinics, informal drives, the Orleton Farm Pleasure Driving Show, Winter Classic Sleigh Rally, Lenox Tub Parade, and Summer Fun Day. Fun Day was created as an opportunity for recreational drivers, as well as seasoned whips, to experience games and friendly competition. The members enjoy the social aspect the Society brings to each meeting and special event, where friends get together to have fun, drive their horses, and to learn more about carriage driving.
The Colonial Carriage and Driving Society was officially formed on January 15, 1989. Twenty-five years later, the club continues to grow and offer many exciting activities. Come to our events or join our club and enjoy the history and tradition of carriage driving.
