Solano Land Trust Rush Ranch
“Celebrate Adventure!” 
The Walk with Rock & Horse Fair



Even though outside the Sacramento County boundaries, this is an organization that deserves all our attention and support.  Spearheaded by Michael Muir (great-grandson of John Muir) he is an adventurer and trailblazer in his own right.  Access Adventure needs your/our help! In order to continue serving the community and accomplishing their mission to provide recreational and educational programs for people with mobility challenges and underserved youth, they need a steady funding stream. They depend on their annual “Celebrate Adventure” event to pay for horse feed, transportation, and program costs.

 On Saturday, October 10, 2009, come “Celebrate Adventure” with a major fundraising Walkathon and Horse Fair at Access Adventure's headquarters, the Solano Land Trust’s Rush Ranch near Fairfield/Suisun City. The gentle giant Rock, the largest Percheron draft horse in North America, will lead the 2.5-mile walk.

The venue is the historic 2,070 acre Rush Ranch located within the largest estuarine marsh in North America . The scenery, the antique farm equipment, the recently dedicated Nature Center and Native American displays are only surpassed by the opportunities for bird watching. All combine to make the 2.5 miles a pleasant hike. The walkathon will be followed by a fun-filled afternoon at the Horse Fair. Lunch, auction, entertainment and exhibitions including draft horse, mule and oxen hitches, wagon rides, traditional horse farming, antique carriages, and demonstrations of various equestrian disciplines will enhance the celebration.

 Access Adventure is seeking corporate sponsorship to underwrite this annual event, as well as teams of participants to join the 2.5-mile walk. Your support will establish your company’s reputation as committed to caring for the needs of the disabled and the many youth programs coordinated by Access Adventure. Last year’s walkathon at Lynch Canyon (another of Solano Land Trust's jewel properties) was well received and they expect an even larger turnout this year at the Rush Ranch.

Sponsors will be prominently listed on all promotional materials. As an individual, you too, can help. Plan to attend the walkathon, ask your friends to sponsor you, win an award for having the largest team, or collecting the most sponsors. Donations from individuals unable to attend are welcome.
