Thanks to everyone who came to the Open House yesterday. What great, generous people you are! We were a bit overwhelmed and apologize for not being quite prepared for so many of you.
Because we received more food than we can safely store, we took some of the best apples and carrots to the Partners in Mission Food Bank in Kingston this afternoon, and they were happy to receive this nutritious donation from Fallow Deer Reserve supporters.
Estimated attendance is somewhere around 200. The deer performed as if having such an audience is a regular occurrence. The audience achieved a remarkable quiet that allowed the deer to come forward out of the woods. It was magic.
Special thanks to volunteers Aida Sulcs (facepainting), Wendy Workman (info), Miesje Stewart and Amber Bellamy (children's games), Don Murphy and Allan Park (tour guides), Adam Strauss and Colin Saccary (parking)
We are pleased to announce that we have raised $1225.71 since yesterday morning.
Thank you everyone. Merci tout le monde.
If you had to leave before the deer feeding or arrived too late, please call 613-386-3673 or via email jmcd@reztel.net to arrange a visit. Please resist the temptation to drop in without a deer-keeper. It's important to keep track of what the deer are eating and there are other safety issues for the deer and for yourselves.
The Fallow Deer Reservists
