Ironhorse group to headline benefit trail, ride, auction, dinner

The Western Fair Trail Ride Saturday in Prague will offer a variety of activities for all ages. The event will be held at the Prague Lake Recreation Area.
“Whether or not you own a horse, this event is a day to relax, have fun and be entertained,” said Sherri White, coordinator of the Western Fair Trail Ride. “If you’re not a horse person, come on out anyway. There’s fishing, pony and buggy rides, an inflatable slide, delicious food and much more.”
The day begins with a trail ride at 10 a.m. Riders will traverse the 8.3 mile trek around Prague Lake before arriving back to base about 2 p.m.
An auction, which includes tack, western home accessories, a 100-year-old “pew for two” and other items, begins at 2 p.m.
Dinner includes pulled pork, baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, dessert and drink from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. After dinner, the local group Ironhorse will perform.
“We’re so excited to have Ironhorse perform at the event,” White said. “They’re a wonderful and extremely entertaining local band covering everything from country to rock. They plan to play about four hours. They’ll begin their performance during dinner and end, well, sometime after the sun has disappeared.”
Ironhorse has opened for Exile, Jason Aldean, David Allen Coe, Johnny Paycheck and were joined on stage by Tanya Tucker during a performance in Oklahoma City.
Cost for the trail ride with dinner is $45 for adults and $25 for youth ages 6-12. Dinner only tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for youth ages 6-12. Children under 5 are admitted free.
All proceeds benefit the building program of St. John Lutheran Church, 215 W. Wallace, Shawnee. More information is available online at www.stjohnshawnee.org or by calling 273-1539.
