🎄 Cowboys for Kids Fun Show Brings Holiday Racing to Whitwell – All Proceeds Support Marion County Families

The Narrow Path Cowboy Fellowship is turning the holiday season into a community celebration with a festive barrel racing event designed to give back. On November 15th, riders of all ages will compete in themed races at Ketner's Mill Arena, with every entry fee directed to families in need through the Marion County Sheriff’s Office Christmas For Kids program.

🐴 Seven Themed Races for All Skill Levels

The Cowboys for Kids Fun Show features seven different barrel racing classes, each with divisions for peewee, youth, and adult riders. Competitors will navigate creative holiday-themed challenges: the Wishlist Race (where riders dismount to find a catalog page), the Ornament Race (collecting and depositing an ornament), the Pajama Race (donning pajamas before riding out), and the Three Trees Race. The Candy Cane Race, Stocking Relay, and North Poles Race round out the lineup. Each class entry costs $5.00, and spectators can attend for $5.00 at the gate. ✨

🎯 Event Details & What to Know

The event runs November 15th at 2:00 p.m. at Ketner's Mill Arena, 2350 Ketner's Mill Road, Whitwell, TN 37397. Riders must present a negative Coggins test (a health certificate required for horses). Concessions will be available throughout the day. The fellowship emphasizes this is a family-friendly event where alcohol and profanity will not be tolerated, making it a welcoming atmosphere for riders and spectators of all ages. 🎪

❤️ Supporting Neighbors This Holiday Season

By combining the community’s love of horses and the holiday spirit, the Narrow Path Cowboy Fellowship is creating a fun way to support area families facing hardship. All proceeds benefit the Marion County Sheriff’s Office Christmas For Kids initiative, ensuring that entry fees translate directly into aid for neighbors in need. It’s a reminder that in the Sequatchie Valley, tradition and generosity often ride together. 🌄
