ROME, GA. — Bar-B Farms will host the inaugural ACTHA Ride to Remember in Floyd County this weekend.

The 6-mile trail winds through the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and will take approximately 3 hours. The event will be followed by a dog contest and lunch.

Participants are welcome to camp on the farm Friday evening and enjoy chili, a bon-fire and camp music.

The event is sponsored by the Wrangler National Patriot Program and all proceeds will benefit the Horses for Heroes, a non-profit organization that works to provide horsemanship, wellness and recovery to Veterans and Active Military who have sustained physical injuries while serving the country.
