Please continue to keep Anthony Piccirello in your prayers. He is currently in a coma in Ocala following a head-on collision.

This Sunday, after our church services, we’re hosting a BBQ Lunch Sale to help support Anthony and his family during this challenging time. The funds raised will go towards covering medical expenses and lost income.
We’ve already pre-sold many lunches, but there will be plenty available for purchase on the day.

Join us this Sunday for a delicious meal and a chance to make a difference! Plates are $15 and include a sweet treat and tea.

Get your DRTPA shows in!

Guess what?!? It's show week!!!! We're excited to see you all this weekend.
📢Get your rides in early for Friday by messaging Heather Saslo or email @gmail.com.
📢📢Remember you must have your rating and membership forms filled out prior to the show! Make sure you give yourself a few extra minutes to come to the desk and fill this out. We will have forms on hand.
📢Ms. Sue will be on site for some great food!😋🍔

Reminder of what our Moonlight 🌙 Series is
Read on 👇👇
📌This is a DRTPA Sanctioned event, meaning it gives riders the opportunity to Qualify for the 2024 DRTPA finals in December in Louisiana. It takes 4 sanctioned events with 10 rides per show to qualify for the 2024 Finals.
Even if you don't plan to ride in LA come sort with us one or both days for a great time!

📌Rider Ratings run 1-5 (not 1-6). If its your first time riding a DRTPA sanctioned event you will discuss your rating with one of FL appointed board members at the show.

📌DRTPA requires a once a year membership fee. It's $30 an individual/$40 for family. We can collect this fee for you and submit to DRTPA. Your memberships will then be added to their website along with your rating.

📌All rules, regulations, ratings, and membership info can be found on their site @ http://www.drtpa.com/

We will include the most up to date ratings in the comments👇. Anything highlighted in yellow is a new rating for this year.

Fortner Farms loves Pyranha and the fact that they are a USA 🇺🇸 family run business and we support each other ♥️💙!!!
