CENTRE WELLINGTON – Once again, Lynn Smillie and Peter Creighton opened their property on 4th Line in Centre Wellington to horse riders for the annual Hooves for Hospice event on Oct. 14 – a fundraiser for Hospice Wellington. About 25 riders came out this year, which is down from previous rides, but organizers were still pleased with the turnout. Photos by Joanne Shuttleworth
