You’re invited to join IronWater Ranch for their first class of 2021! This class is Saturday, January 23rd, 10 am to 4 pm. Lambing School is perfect for shepherds of all experience levels and covers many topics. IWR’s shepherds can answer all of your questions whether you have a flock of 3 or 3,000. Registration and additional information can be found at www.ironwater.com
On Friday, February 12th, donate at least $15 to the animals at SafeHaven, and the people will make a portrait drawing of your pet. They have a pool of staff and volunteers standing by, eager to turn your animal into a timeless work of art (or at least make you laugh). You might get one of their extremely talented artists, but to be honest…you’ll probably get someone who can’t draw their way out of a paper bag. They admit that they are much better at caring for pets than drawing them! Visit the fundraiser page here Pet Drawing
