On Saturday, April 25, at 9 a.m., the Twin Valley Rotary Club and Twin Valley High School’s (TVHS) National Honor Society (NHS) chapter will host their annual Litter to Literacy event. The day will feature members of both the Rotar y Club and NHS cleaning up a 2.6-mile stretch of Route 23 from the Twin Valley Fire Department to the Botanery Barn restaurant in Elverson.

Ryerss Farm for Aged Equines is set to host the 14th annual Ryerss Run for the Horses event at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 18. The event will feature a 10K and 5K cross-country run, as well as a 1-mile walk. It will take place at Ryerss Farm, 1710 Ridge Road (Route 23), Pottstown. There is a cost to register. “I think it’s going to be a good year,” said Frank Reilly, treasurer of Ryerss Farm. “This is the most pre-entries we’ve ever had.” Ryerss Farm for Aged Equines, founded in 1888, is a nonprofit located on 383 acres of land near the Chester/Montgomery County border. The farm provides a place for aged horses to retire and enjoy their days in the pasture; Ryerss’ horses are never worked or ridden again. Proceeds from the event will benefit Ryerss Farm and will go toward new renovation projects. Reilly said that the organization’s main goal is to raise enough money to rehab the main barn, which is over three decades old. Runners and walkers of any pace are invited to take part in the runs or walk. Reilly said that the walk will be an all-grass, 1-mile loop in front of the barn and that the 5K and 10K courses will go throughout the entire farm. “It’ll be more of a challenge,” he said. “The 5K loop will be three miles into the woods and through some pastures, past the horses and then back to the finish line. The 10K will just do the loop again.” L ast year ’s male winners were Abhijit Choudhury (10K, 59:06) and Michael Serocki (5K, 24:42); the female winners were Sasha Kryst (10K, 1:02:15) and Angelique Ott (5K, 25:48).
