RANGER OPEN HOUSE
October 13, 2007

 We were once again greeted with storybook fall weather the morning of our Open House.  Volunteers hustled to get the barn in tip top shape in anticipation of this year's visitors.  Refreshments were a plenty and door prizes were arranged.   Several horses were brought in to the barn for some extra grooming and interaction with our guests. 

After departing from the Harley Davidson shop in Frederick, MD, our friends with the Baltimore Blood Brother's Motorcycle group arrived at the farm shortly after noon.  While visiting the horses, everyone enjoyed hot dogs, sausages, cider and baked goods aplenty in the barn. 

As visitors mingled the barn and surrounding paddocks, volunteers were able to explain the history of each service horse and how they came to Ranger.    Our resident ham, Kit, performed is "tongue trick" for anyone who would supply him with a treat.   One special motorcycle rider got a chance to give "Tom" a spin around the round pen.  Quite different than his Harley Davidson!

Throughout the day raffle tickets were sold for the quilt, a throw and 50/50.   Information about the organization and sign up sheets to volunteer were provided by helpful volunteers.   Everyone at the Ranger Foundation was thrilled with the interest displayed of each visitor as well as their overall encouragement and generosity. 

As always the Board of Directors, volunteers and horses of the Ranger Foundation, Inc. wholeheartedly appreciate the time and donations of the Blood Brother's Motorcycle Club as well as every visitor of our Open House.  We understand that their are many worthwhile organizations in need of support and we're glad you chose us!

THANK YOU FOR A SUCCESSFUL EVENT!
