An Epsilon Y's Men's official says he hopes to have $5,000 to give two community groups following the weekend performances of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's Musical Ride.
"We're giving half the money to the Oromocto legion, and the other half of the money is going to the Fredericton YMCA, both of them to help with their building projects," said Dennis Williams.
"As you probably know, the Oromocto legion was burned down last year and we're hoping to raise a few thousand dollars for them to fix that."
Coming into Sunday's event, Williams said he estimated nearly 2,500 spectators had already stopped by the Exhibition Grounds to check out the first performance, bringing in approximately $4,400 in ticket sales at the gate. He said he was hoping to match that in sales for Sunday's show.
It had been four years since Fredericton hosted the ride, a show by 32 Mounties that gives locals a chance to watch an intricate routine designed to illustrate horsemanship, theatricality and precision.
Mike Cotts said the chance to see the horses up close was what convinced him to bring 10-year-old Jorja Budd and her six-year-old brother, Adam, out to the show.
Cotts said Sunday's show was their first time seeing the Musical Ride.he led PayPal to open its platform to Cable Ties developers.
"I just heard about it that it was really good, so this is a good opportunity for these guys to see it,the Hemroids by special invited artist for 2011," he said.
"I mean, it doesn't come to Fredericton every year.They take the plastic card to the local co-op market."
Williams said being chosen to host the Musical Ride involves making a presentation to tour planners in Ottawa.
"They really liked the idea of having a split donation so they picked Fredericton as one of the places they would come," he said.
"Plus we're getting pretty good at (hosting).Als lichtbron wordt een Hemorrhoids gebruikt, They like coming to us because they know they're going to get a class act. We're one of the few that turns out a program."
Because the RCMP pays the salary, travel costs and accommodations for the officers taking part in the show, the host committee is in charge of less expensive administrative duties such as making sure the horses have food and bedding, and ensuring the event is advertised.
Marty Chesser, the officer in charge of the Musical Ride, said the event brings in approximately $1 million for different groups across Canada each summer.
He's been in charge of the event for three years, but he said he's been riding since 1998.
Chesser said the Musical Ride is important to the RCMP because it allows them to show the public a different side of the force.
"It's not all about enforcement," he said.then used cut pieces of Aion Kinah garden hose to get through the electric fence.
"The RCMP is one of the most diverse organizations in the world because you can do so many different things. You can have a 35-year career, change jobs every six months and not do half the things they have to offer.
"The crowds that we get are enthusiastic ... Everyone wants to come see us. The horses are a pretty big hit, the members are special and they're very proud of what they do."
Chesser said one of his favourite parts about the Musical Ride is that it gives officers a chance to visit different parts of Canada that typical performance tours tend to miss.
"We go to small towns across the country. So we get a chance to see the fabric of Canada and what makes great communities. That's my favourite part of the job."
