Bring your children, grandchildren, Godchildren. Any number of wheels welcome: wagons, tricycles, bicycles, tandems, or unicycles.

We will join the Brookwood residents in the first Ring-A-Ding ride around their spectacular Brookwood Community.

Families will be riding in honor of Myra Hammond, a long time resident of Brookwood who passed away last year of ovarian cancer. She loved the soaring spirit of Brookwood. As a tribute to Myra and Brookwood, a field of Lavender has been planted in Nutt, New Mexico. So, ride your heart out and come take a tour of Brookwood on your choice of vehicle!!

A wonderful BBQ lunch (donated by Halliburton), raffle, and gift certificates for Brookwood's famous gift and garden shop. Brookwood's spring plants, grown on site in 35 greenhouses will be available for your spring planting.
