Community members are invited to Restoration Ranch for an afternoon of food trucks, family-friendly games, pony rides, vendors, raffles and a silent auction.
"Whether you’re spending the day with family or supporting a cause close to your heart, Spring Fling is a chance to enjoy the ranch while helping advance Restoration Ranch’s mission to serve veterans through equine-assisted programs," owner Beth Rand said in a statement.
The festival will kick off with a 4K Bluebonnet Ruck March. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own backpacks; however, weighted bricks will be available for $5 each as a symbol of the weight many veterans carry, Rand said.
"All 4K Ruck March registrations include admission to the Spring Fling later that day, making it a full day of purpose, connection and community at the ranch," she said.
