Old Fashioned Barn Raising!

We will also be having and old fashioned BARN RAISING. Our goal is to
build a 40 x 60 x 16 main barn with two attached lean-too structures
to store feed and equipment. In addition to this barn, we will construct a 12 x 24 pasture shelter for the rescue horses. We needed this barn up yesterday, and construction and a final "barn raising" date will be determined as soon as we have enough lumber and supplies onsite.

In order to have this dream realized, we need the communities support with donations, building materials, and then equipment, labor, food and other items on the barn raising day.

We welcome the assistance of any skilled construction workers, builders, and any willing volunteers to help with this effort. Without this barn, our feed supply for the winter, equipment, and overflow of horses and animals will be out in the cold and the elements. Help us give the critters much needed shelter.

Please call for our materials needed list.

Our main barn burned to the ground several years ago.

Your gift and their gift is 100% tax deductible. Just think, if 10 of you sponsor your own party, that is $1000-2000 raised for BFAS! Have more friends, sponsor more animals!
