World-class horses and their riders won’t be the only draw to Flintfields Horse Park in Williamsburg this weekend. Saturday, June 24, from 4-8pm, the Traverse City Horse Shows venue will also be hosting the Veterans Inspiring Veterans (VIV) Art Show. Twenty-seven artists—all of them verified military vets—will display and sell their works. More than 100 pieces of art will be on display, from paintings to pottery sculptures to carvings.

Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Reining Liberty Ranch, a local nonprofit that offers community-based programs that serve veterans, their families, and other disabled/at-risk individuals in the Grand Traverse area.
