“Witches” recently took to the streets of the Canebrake Community with their “broomcycles” and “broomcarts” in an effort to have fun and to benefit the community.

The Canebrake Witches Ride took place Sunday, Oct. 22, and raised funds and awareness for the Athens-Limestone Hospital Pink Elephant Project which supports mammogram scholarships for Limestone County women.

The Canebrake Witches Ride started in 2019 after a group of moms in the Canebrake neighborhood brainstormed ideas in their Facebook group on how to create more activities for kids and families that would in turn create a stronger community. One of those ideas was a witches ride, a type of event that has recently become popular in other communities.
