**************

Opening Meet

Due to the constraints imposed by the COVID pandemic, we are only inviting
members and landowners to the hunt this year. This is disappointing to all of the
Oak Ridge Masters as well as the family at the Estate, but we feel that we must
impose this restriction to keep everyone safe in these extraordinary times.
We will not be hosting the usual breakfast after the hunt. Everyone is invited to
bring their own refreshments to enjoy at a safe distance from others. We will
provide water and soft drinks. We know you will all respect our wishes for this
year. 2021 will be a renewed chance to celebrate.

**************

November 22 Turkey Trot

Join in on the search for turkey plates while riding the fields and wooded trails along the Rockfish River & behind Wood Ridge Farm.
The first 6 riders to find a turkey plate will win a turkey for Thanksgiving. All disciplines are welcome.
Bring your own tailgate – no alcohol please, or buy lunch at the Brewery after the ride.
Entry fee is $40 for adults, $25 for juniors.

Pre-Register online at https://orfhc.square.site/ or in Register in person the day of the event.
