Fun was had by all!

This event was a dual fundraiser - 50% each of the proceeds went to the Lemoore Cancer Relay for Life and to the LPEC. Thanks to all who participated.

Christmas in October

In preparation for the annual Holiday Open House that we will be taking place in December in Visalia, Tally-Ho was asked to participate in the filming of a TV commercial for the event. Although it isn't even Halloween yet, we got all decked out in our holiday festive best and headed over to Main Street in Downtown Visalia to get filmed.

Main Street Visalia was already decorated for Christmas in preparation for the filming

We had a great time and felt like movie stars as they closed Main Street and filmed us for about an hour-and-a-half. Sonya and Argo were driving and we had a couple of actors in the carriage who were very convincing in the role of romantic holiday lovers.

Star was his usual super-fantastic self and really seemed to enjoy all the attention. He did a lot of standing around while the film crew discussed different options, circled Main Street a dozen times, had lights in his face, and even supported a cameraman on his "shaves" while doing a tight shot. Star took it all in stride and handled it like the big Hollywood star that he is (minus the whining and the outrageous demands:-))

Lights, camera...ACTION! Star working the "Star" program!

We had a great time and even got into the Christmas spirit a little early this year. Heck, even the big guy showed up and snapped a few shots with Star. We will be in Visalia every Thursday evening in December from 5-8PM and three Saturdays from 12-3PM giving free carriage rides. We can't wait!

Alvarez Quinceanera

Tally Ho was honored to be involved in a very important event for Isabel Alvarez and her family. We were hired by Isabel's Aunt, Alma Villagren, to transport her from the church to the Civic Center in Hanford. This is significant because it is the first Quinceanera conducted in the Alvarez family in four generations. We picked up Isabel at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Hanford and delivered her an hour later, to Downtown Hanford.

Isabel is a beautiful young woman!

Ricky & Leslie Dewalt Wedding

It was a rather warm September afternoon at Jack Stone's Barn in Lemoore where Ricky and Leslie Dewalt tied the knot. After pre-staging the carriage, Sonya, Argo, and Star shuttled the wedding party to the ceremony, which took place next to a beautiful pond. We started by taking Ricky's parents, grandparents, and Leslie's Mom to center stage.

We then shuttled both the groomsmen and the bridesmaids to the ceremony.

Finally, we picked up Leslie and her father and made a grand entrance.

After the lovely ceremony, Tally-Ho provided a backdrop for some wedding photos.

It was a pleasure to be involved in the big day of such a nice young couple. We wish Ricky and Leslie the best as they start their life together.

A Horse without a Carriage?

We had a first today! Star was the sole "Star" of the show today as he brought the groom in to a traditional Indian wedding ceremony on his back.

Thanks to Jan Buckley who made Star's amazing costume - which just so happened to match the grooms perfectly.

What a fun wedding, and a new twist for Team Tally-Ho.
