Dear Dream Ride Family,
For the past 20 years, The Dream Ride Experience has been the signature event of The Hometown Foundation, Inc., which represents communities and participants of Special Olympics from around the globe. With the ongoing health and safety concerns directly related to COVID-19, The Hometown Foundation, Inc. has modified this year's Dream Ride Experience to ensure those who can safely attend are able to do so under appropriate social distancing guidelines. For those unable to join us in person, we will be providing a virtual viewing and participation experience, so that Dream Riders around the globe can still join in on the fun. So mark your calendars and join us on Friday, August 21 - Sunday, August 23, 2020 in Farmington, CT as we celebrate our Dream Riders and their year-long achievements in a new format.
While we will have to wait until next year to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of The Dream Ride Experience in its traditional format, we are still prepared to showcase the bond and friendships we have been cultivating over the past twenty years with our Summer of Dreams! Join us every weekend at the Farmington Polo Club for Friday's Cinema Under the Stars and traditional Polo Matches every Saturday. Don't forget about the popular Chuckker Café where you can stop by and enjoy breakfast and lunch every Sunday.
We have a very special weekend scheduled for August 21-23, 2020. Whether you are local or across the globe, we have made it possible for you to join us either in person or virtually for the Dream Ride Experience. We are in the process of planning a modified weekend to not only ensure the health and safety of participants, but to allow for participation at whatever your comfort level may be. Although we are still working out the details, below is a sample of what to expect. Visit our website www.dreamride.org all summer for updates.
Friday, August 21st
Saturday, August 22nd
Sunday, August 23rd
For our Dream Riders living across the globe and to those who cannot make it to Farmington, CT for the weekend, we invite you to join us virtually. On Sunday, August 23, 2020 at 3:00pm EST we will premiere "The Dream Ride Experience: Through the Years Virtual Celebration". Join us online as we relive Dream Ride's most treasured moments and highlights, all created because of you! Your overwhelming support never goes unrecognized and we look forward to keeping the dream alive, virtually.
The Dream Ride Experience will officially celebrate its 20th Anniversary on Friday, August 20 - Sunday, August 22, 2021. We invite you to celebrate with us all summer long at the Farmington Polo Club and join us August 21-23, 2020 for a weekend celebration.
