Phase II of the Fence Project is Complete
We had an awesome group of volunteers out at the Blue Barn Farm Sanctuary today helping to finish the second phase of the fencing! The weather forecast was calling for 90% chance of rain. It rained all night, stopped just before we got started with our project, and didn’t open back up again until we were all sitting on the porch admiring this beautiful creation you see in the picture above. Dare I say it was as close to a perfect day as we could have asked for. It was fantastic!
The only sad part was that Sherri’s face got covered by an arm, we didn’t think to take the group photo until a couple of people had already left for the day, and we can’t see Ryan’s stripped softball pants and odd socks in this picture. Otherwise, it was a total winner!
The initial portion of the back pasture is all fenced in, the section in front of the small barn is now complete, the first stretch of the privacy fence is finished, and we are ready to begin the next phase. We’re going to post a “Before-and-After” video. The transformation is breath-taking, but there is still a lot to do.
This is the part where we put the ball back into your court. We need another round of donations to move forward with the plan. You have been so wonderful sharing all your love and support through this journey. Now that our 501c3 paperwork has officially been delivered (YES!!! Thank you Melissa!!!), we can do super cool things like create a “Donate” button on our Facebook page and website.
It will be pretty easy to use once we have it up. You will just click the button, choose your level of support, enter your information, and the money will go directly into the Blue Barn Farm Sanctuary bank account. For now, please connect with Melissa directly, or one of our board members to discuss our current options for receiving donations.
From there, we can use your heart-felt generosity to cover things like emergency vet bills, straw, food for the animals, water troughs, rodent-proof feed containers, and a million other things that are essential for rescuing farm animals. We love you! We couldn’t do it without you! We are feeling your dedication to growing kindness, compassion, and empathy! Thank you from all of us here at the Blue Barn Farm Sanctuary!
