Members of the Peninsula Volunteers are urged to "kick up their spurs" and head west for "Horsin' Around," a benefit to be held from 4 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 23, at the National Center for Equine Facilitated Therapy, 880 Runnymede Road in Woodside.

Along with dancing, dining and live music, there will be casino events and a special appearance by Krandel Lee Newton, known as the original "Butt Sketcher." Since 1987, the artist has specialized in drawing folks from a rear view. For the second year, Mr. Newton is being flown in from Dallas, Texas, by Joe and Nancy Greenbach of Atherton. Ms. Greenbach hails from Dallas.

The fundraiser will also feature a vaulting show, a cowgirl act, parade of miniature horses and goats, pie contests, panning for gold, and a wine toss. Tickets at $175, or $250 for a sponsor ticket, may be purchased by calling Cathy Duhring of Peninsula Volunteers at 326-0665.

Peninsula Volunteers has created and provided programs for the aging in South San Mateo County for almost 65 years. Among the programs the organization supports are Little House and Rosener House centers, the Roslyn G. Morris Activity Center, and Meals on Wheels.
