CANCELLED FOR 2023—WATCH THIS SPACE FOR NEXT
YEAR’S DATE AND TIME!
The 60 acres comprising Plaid Swan Ranch & Cottages and Red Ryder Llama Farm will be open to the public for a special day of food and fun. Take a relaxing stroll through the many gardens, visit “Cluckingham Palace,” and enjoy a variety of exhibits and displays. Many in the neighborhood will recognize this property as the former Avalanche Ranch. So much has changed in the last several years! The current owners are bringing the property back to life and this is your chance to see the many changes first-hand while supporting your local community organization.
A special picnic luncheon will be prepared for each attendee, complete with a camp blanket and wicker basket to take to one of the many beautiful picnic spots. Gates will open at 11 am. Attendees will have several hours to enjoy the grounds, which feature soothing evergreen spaces, a pond (with turtles!), and several vegetable, berry, and cut flower gardens. Sixteen llamas—with three new babies arriving this spring—four alpacas, and two miniature donkeys will be in residence for visitors to hand feed and enjoy. This event will also feature artisans from our community offering products, displays, and information.
Don’t miss this special opportunity to enjoy a wonderful afternoon of delicious food, community interaction, peace, and enjoyment in a beautiful setting! Tickets are $50 per person; $90 for two, or $180 for four. Make it a fun outing with friends and family but don’t delay! Tickets will be available for purchase at all of our upcoming events, including the pie social, plant sale, and yard sale, or during Library hours at the Community Center on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 5-8 pm.
Visit www.plaidswanranch and www.redryderfarm for more information about the event hosts, Kim and Dave, and the tremendous work they have done to revive this property.
