Hello Open Barn Volunteers,
Despite the weather, we pulled off another successful fundraiser for Nevins Farm!
We welcomed approximately 100 visitors and raised an incredible $1,304.
Compared to last year β over 300 visitors and $2,650 raised β we did better than expected, even in the rain!
None of it would have been possible without each and every one of you.
So where do I start?
NMHS Honor Society Students:
To Rebekah and all the NMHS students and staff β thank you for your help setting up, your energy running activities, your enthusiasm with the kids, your bake sale donations, and your strength during clean-up.
My achy muscles truly appreciate all your hard work and positive energy. I can't wait to work with you again next year!
Janeen Jones:
The time, effort, and love you pour into creating magical experiences β from princess visits to face painting to hair extensions β is simply unmatched.
The event day is just the tip of the iceberg compared to the hours you spend planning and coordinating.
A huge thank you as well to your incredible team β Sue, Cheryl, Alicia (Elsa), Becky (Belle), and McKenna β for bringing it all to life!
Gianna C, Marlene E, and Linda B:
Thank you for running the food stand so smoothly!
Gianna, you can rock a grill and a waffle maker like a pro β and you always show up for Kimstead Farm.
We are so lucky to have you!
Heather, Kathy M, Sarah, Meaghan, and Esme:
The trust I have in you to care for my barn babies speaks volumes about who you are.
Thank you for helping create special memories for all the visiting families.
Millie, Laura, and Ayman:
Without even being asked, you offer to drive an hour (or more) to help out.
You are true family to Kimstead Farm β and you always will be.
GroundEd Families β Devin and the Matos Family:
Your support and all the heart you bring to the farm make it an even more special place. Thank you for being part of our farm family.
Audrey and Willow:
Thank you for jumping in wherever needed β and a special thanks for helping with Louie!
(Hereβs hoping next year heβll be a little more mature... and a little less of a thief! π)
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for making our Open Barn a success β rain and all.
I am so grateful for each of you and all that you do.
Already counting the days until we do it again!
