I missed the Cheshire Races (only because we were in Philadelphia, as you'll read below), but we'll definitely be at the Brandywine Hills Point-to-Point Races this coming Sunday, April 3. As always, it's held at the Brandywine Red Clay Alliance's Myrick Conservation Center (the BVA) on Unionville-Wawaset Road (Route 842).
Gates open at 11 a.m. The kids' pony races (always very cute to watch) are at 12:30, 12:45, 1 and 1:15, followed by the parade of Radnor Hunt's foxhounds. The ladies' race is at 1:45, heavyweight race at 2:15, novice race at 2:45, open race at 3:15 and owner-ride foxhunter's race at 3:45 p.m.
Proceeds benefit the Alliance's environmental education and watershed conservation programs.
I hear from friends who attended that the Cheshire Races were wonderful, with pleasant weather, exciting races, and a good turnout of locals.
Alternatively, if you're looking for an indoor activity next Sunday, Rollin Wilber will be presenting a piano concert at 2 p.m. at Kennett Friends Meeting. He will be playing a mix of Schubert, Debussy, Brahms and Chopin. Admission is free, as it is for all of the Hadley Fund programs.
