The Aquidneck Riders of Portsmouth and the Team Riders of Richmond RI, will be Christmas caroling on horseback through the streets of Common Fence Point on Saturday, December 14th. The merry band of festively dressed carolers will head out from the VFW Hall on Anthony Road around noon. Santa Claus will be on board an 18-passenger wagon pulled by a team of Belgian draft horses.
This year, the clubs are collecting canned goods for U.S. troops serving overseas (no pork, please). They invite you to come out and join the fun but to keep your pets inside for the safety of the riders.
