SOCIAL | Raise the Roofs Sponsored Event
Story & Photography by K. York The 5th annual “Raise the Roofs” fundraiser took place at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm in August. Despite a gale force wind and storm before the event, a little wind and rain did not dampen the spirits of guests. Patrons enjoyed watching Miguel Ventura and Christoph Schroeder demonstrate Grand Prix jumping and fabulous horsemanship. Guests were also treated to a Polo match in the amazing arena. Local restaurants provided their favorite dishes and Lipman Brothers offered specialty drinks “The Bonnie" and "The Bucky" in honor of Harlinsdale famous miniature horses. An auction showcased a decedent of the famous farm’s Tennessee Walking Horse, Midnight Sun. This event has brought the horses and the tradition of equestrian sport back to the heart of downtown Franklin. For more information, go to friendsoffranklinparks.org.
