Trail Riders to Washington

A group of Trail Riders spent the night Friday (3-15) at Fulton on their way to Washington on Saturday. Spokesman Bill Waggoner of Texarkana said the group annually stages a trail ride to raise money for Arkansas Children’s Hopsital in Little Rock. The group settles in for the night in Fulton with help from the Brotherhood of Fulton and Charity Baptist Church. Fulton residents Jessie Henry and Ernest Brown said they have enjoyed working with the group each year to help them raise money for such a good cause. Waggoner said people often pull up to the trail ride on public roads and leave donations. Waggoner was particularly proud of the young people on the ride including children as young as 8 years old.
