Prior to the performance, VIP ticket holders and Sponsors will attend an outdoor cocktail party catered by Candle Café of NYC at Equine Advocates Rescue & Sanctuary, which is conveniently located just one mile from the venue.

Don’t miss out on Redwings Horse Sanctuary’s 3rd Annual Block Party Fundraiser taking place this Sunday, Sept. 10, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monte Mills and the Lucky Horseshoe Band will be providing wonderful music throughout the day. There will be fine wine from some of Paso’s best wineries along with cold beer and delicious food served up by Chef Charlie. Redwings would be remiss if they didn’t mention the most important part: the opportunity to get to know the amazing horses that call Redwings home. There will be demonstrations for everyone to enjoy and, of course, the silent and live auctions that will take place throughout the day! Don’t miss your chance to bid on a trip to France or a wine dinner for eight people at McPhee’s Bar Grill. This annual event is Redwings’ key fundraiser, and the donations support medical care and feed for the horses for the year. Come for the love of the horses and contribute to supporting Redwings’ mission! Redwings seeks to eliminate the causes of equine suffering through educational and community outreach programs, rescue abused, abandoned, and neglected equines, and provide permanent sanctuary or selected adoptive homes for those equines. General admission tickets include: Barbecue lunch by Cass Winery with beverage of your choice A Govino reusable wine glass Paradise Shaved Ice Endless fun at the photo booth And full access to demonstrations and a self-guided tour of the horses and their stories.
