Family Fun Day August 30th - MONDAY

It's all systems go here for John - he has put out the banners, and is tidying up the yard, so that we will be ready for the Open Day which is only 5 days away.

As usual there seems load to do to get ready for this big day, which is free of charge to get into, and many of the activities are free on the day.

This day is all about being able to get into the countryside, see the animals, pond dip, have a walk around the farm, and have a sit down whilst you go on a trailer ride.

Children love the wide open spaces, and we are hoping for a dry day.

The Market Drayton Scouts and Venture Scouts are coming to ensure we all have a great day, and they may be able to bring other scouts with archery - we are awaiting to hear if this is going to happen.

So far:-

• The ponies are coming early for the pony rides so that is great news
• We are picking up some marquees for ourselves over the weekend - hopefully the new marquee will also arrive
• We are expecting some local food stalls including cakes and plants
• The Guide Dogs will be coming - so you can learn all about how wonderful they are
• We are collecting the beef and pork ready for the Open Day later this week, so there will be fresh Park Hill beef, bacon, and pork on the day
• The Tractor and Trailer are booked ready to give rides
• The pond will be ready for some pond dipping
• Winston at the Market Drayton Advertiser is hoping to put some editorial into the paper this week - so that families can make the most of this day
• JOHN will be showing people the baby animals - make sure you get a tour with him
• Sheila is going to do the cake bake and take - a great favourite
• The Market Drayton Scouts are having a stall inside their marquee, and will be hosting the children's colouring tables
• AND LASTLY - TANYA THE PIG MAY BE HAVING HER BABIES ON MONDAY - so if she does, we will set up a viewing area so that people can see them

As you can see, we are busy but lots of people are offering to help make this a special, fun day for all to enjoy.

There will be hand washing facilities and toilet facilities on the day, and also parking for the disabled, so give us a call if you need further info.

SEE YOU ON MONDAY BETWEEN 11 AND 3PM
