By Westwind Barn's 18th annual fund-raiser will be held Sept. 8 in Los Altos Hills.

The “Hoedown,” known for its entertainment and tasty barbecue, will open with a rousing performance by the barn’s Drill Team strutting to music on horseback. This will be followed by pole-bending and jumping demonstrations by youth members of the Pacific Ridge Pony Club, a display of graceful ballet-like dressage, and an exhibition by young disabled 4-H riders.

Dinner at 6:45 p.m. features a choice of barbecued chicken or spareribs. After dinner there will be dancing to live music.

Proceeds will benefit the 4-H program for teaching disabled children to ride, as well as Westwind Barn preservation efforts. Tickets are $20 for adults and $16 for senior citizens and children. For tickets and information, call Alicia Restivo at 941-6113 or e-mail westwindbarn@aol.com.
