What happens at Stringtown Rising Farm stays at Stringtown Rising Farm.
I said that at the party after the following embarrassing incident, which I am revealing now because it’s always better to tell on yourself:
I had one teenager picking up door prizes one at a time from the table while Morgan called out numbers and I checked the list for the winner. Unfortunately, when Morgan called out number 24, it came to my attention that there was no 24 because when I numbered the sign up sheet, I went from 19 to 30. This cannot be explained, but despite my high score on the Census test, I’m thinking they’re mighty lucky I turned down the job due to my obligations with my cow. How many times have I said I can’t do math? IT’S TRUE. I can’t even number.
Okay, back to door prizes.
The first door prize today is a 2011 Chickens in the Road calendar. Leave a comment to let me know you want it. This contest will end whenever I feel like it (these are door prizes, people, you must be present to win!) and I’ll post a new door prize. (There will be multiple door prizes given away today!) I’ll keep a running tally on winners carrying over to each post so you don’t have trouble finding out if you won.
So who wants a calendar?! (Luckily for you, the comment numbering on my blog is done automatically because you don’t want me involved!)
Door prize #1 winner: #50, northcountrygirl. Email me at CITRgiveaways(at)yahoo.com with your full name and address for shipping!
THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED. See Door Prize #2.

I would have loved to have been at the party, and had planned to be there, but my Son was not able to bring me, and It wasnt possible for me to drive by myself–maybe next year.
I am sure it was a fun filled event–all those animals we have come to know and love, it would have been like going home for a little vacation,
