Determined Dawgs down improving Indians

By RICHARD A. ROSS

JEFFERSONVILLE, NY—After suffering tough losses last week, both Liberty and Sullivan West went back to the drawing board and practiced intensively.

Upwards of 650 riders fuel up on a continental breakfast before heading out in small groups for either a 40-mile ride to Hector’s Inn in Bethel or a 50-mile trek to the Fosterdale Motor Lodge. The event, organized by the Sullivan County ATV Association, raises money for gravely ill children.

Each rider receives a sealed envelope that contains a poker hand and some time later in the day, some lucky muddy gal, guy or kid is a winner.
