DONKEY DAYS HERE WE COME

One more sleep and the fun begins. Rob, Shirley, Sean and a dedicated group of volunteers have worked extremely hard to make sure our 4th Annual Donkey Days is a great success. I am convinced that our wonderful donkeys know that something very special is about to happen. They have been brushed, and brushed, and brushed again. Tomorrow they get one last brushing and then they get their name bands - pink for the girls and blue for the boys. All of us are going to try for a good nights sleep so we are "bright-eyed and bushy-tailed" for tomorrow. Now if George and Tiny Tim will call a truce for the night, perhaps Shirley and Rob will have a quiet night and a decent rest. Fingers crossed. The Refuge looks spectacular. All of the barns are "dressed up" and the fence panels have been arranged so the visitors can be right next to the donkeys. There are great bands and guest speakers, old-time craftsmen and yummy food. This year's t-shirt color is RED and, other than volunteering during Donkey Days, the only way to get one is to become a Member of the Refuge. I've got mine. Well it is off to bed for me. We want to be at the Refuge by 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Hope you can join us for two amazing days.
