NAME THE GOAT RAFFLE. IT’S FUN AND HISTORICAL!
Starting on May 1, you can enter our online “Name the Goat” raffle to re-rename this handsome boy, the newest buckling at Connemara. The traditional raffle pull will be at the Flat Rock Village Ice Cream Social on June 1st. In addition to this guy a new name, the raffle winner will receive a gift basket donated by Mast General to The Friends.
To enter, go to http://www.friendsofcarlsandburg.org/donate/. Click on the SEE EVENTS and buy a ticket.
One way Mrs. Sandburg tracked her herd’s lineage was by goat moms and kids sharing the same first initial in their names. Because this little fellow wasn’t born at Connemara, we’re asking that you choose a name that begins with M, representing Memory, yhe 2024 Student Writing Contest theme. What does this mean for the raffle? You have options:
Option 1. Pick a name that begins with the letter M.
Option 2. Pick a name from Sandburg’s “Rootabaga Stories”.
Option 3. Just pick a favorite name OR
Option 4. Come meet this boy at the Ice Cream Social on June 1st at the Flat Rock Village Hall.
The winner will be notified in early July by email.
TAKE A HIKE. SAVIOR THE VIEW.
While the bridge at the front lake remains closed, consider taking a 1-mile hike to the top of Big Glassy Mountain. Along the way you will pass several benches and most likely a few dogs and other hikers. At the top are benches and boulders for resting and taking in the panoramic view of Blue Ridge Mountains. By parking at the “Hikers Lot” (pass the front entry and just around the bend on Little River Road) you’ll have easy access into the park and up to the barn. From there, a short path leads to the woods and trail heads. Enjoy!
