We had an incredible weekend for Open Farm Days!
The weather was perfect. Such good luck! We had many neighbours and friends volunteer to help give tours. It was fantastic! We also had a couple of vendors have products for sale.
Here are a few photos taken on Friday and during the weekend. We hardly took any photos as we were busy with guests the whole time! We had at least 60 people each day and the county bus came by with another 60 people.
Gus Yaki did two nature walks identifying plants/animals. They were well attended and we were able to donate $130 to the Alberta Wilderness Association. Marilyn Halvorson did a history talk and from that we were able to donate $75 to the Bergen Ladies’ Aid.
Mountain View County helped with some of the signage and coordinated getting the porta potty!
