RCMP Musical Ride in Woodstock

The famous RCMP Musical Ride was in Woodstock on Tuesday, August 23rd. The ride was dedicated in memory of Sgt. Mark Gallagher, an RCMP officer from Woodstock who lost his life in the earthquake in Haiti in January 2010 while on a United Nations peacekeeping mission.

Woodstock military expert Aaron Bouma had a display of wooden model guns he has built from scratch. He is seen here explaining the models to a curious onlooker.
