Scenes from 2023 Pleasure Drive preliminary judging and picnicking at St. Davids Churchgrounds continues to
Exhibiting the spirit of Devon perseverance, area driving clubs graciously decided to continue their traditional Pleasure Drive on Sunday, May 28, 2023. The ride started at 11 AM and ended back at the Devon Horse Show grounds about 1 PM. Beginning at St. David’s Church, the coaches wound their way through Devon neighborhoods. They were cheered on by neighbors and friends who gathered on lawns and driveways to applaud the unique event
During this year’s Pleasure Drive picnickers were able to view the carriages at St. David’s Churchgrounds and also en route as they made their way back to the horse show grounds. A picnic contest was held at St. David’s Churchgrounds. Missy Schwartz and friends celebrated the event
