| A Little Info on the Horse Tours: |
|
| |
The Horse drawn rides started without fanfare at
the 2000 Lily Festival. The idea was to provide a nostalgic ride
for people who wanted to know something about the Town but was unable
to take the Walking Tour. Riders were scarce that year and there
was a considerable wait between rides. Since then, the number of
rides and riders has greatly improved and two wagons were used last
year.
The rides take about one hour and follow a set route. Riders receive
a little history of the Town and get to see some of our more notable
buildings. It is a most enjoyable ride and highly recommended. |

and named lily varieties. Cost: No Charge. |
