A terrific day at the village fete. (July 19, 2009)
What a lovely village West Chiltington is proving to be with a very real friendly community spirit. Fortunately the weather stayed fair for the village fete and we were kindly invited to take along the abc sanctuary marquee, 2 Shetlands and a donkey. Although there was a great deal to see and do the 3 animals Jack, Jill and Phoebe proved immensely popular with the children who petted them all day. The adults meanwhile looked at the beautiful pictures of the animals on our stands- the poorly ones who are now transformed, the animals for rehoming and the animals up for adoption. Our lovely new adoption certificates were a big success, many new people joined the abc friends and we also sold a number of raffle tickets. There are three main prizes a champagne picnic at the sanctuary hosted by myself with donkey and pony rides, a flight in a glider and a £30 voucher for lunch or dinner at the gorgeous Whites Restaurant in Steyning, Sussex. If anyone would like any raffle tickets please e mail me through the website.I am taking a week's break but there will be more news of the sanctuary activities shortly.
