Our view out here tonight 🥰 It took us less than a week - but Randy Walden and I Laura Walden completely rebuilt our covered bridge 🎉 Next up is our parking lot - we have to redo it, too💔😰 And then more projects to come- along with hosting all of our events out here🙏🏻 We are always working on this place and it's getting better and better🤗 LOVING what we do🫶🏻

Oh~ the other pic is in "The Canopy" when we were turning off all of the lights and water features and everything - our dog, Waldo, joined us and I thought it would make a cute pic- and we love it❤️

Peace💝

Here are some recent pics we have taken out here so far this year 💝 We are right in the middle of our busy season and still working constantly on our many projects, too🫶🏻 We LOVE sharing our sweet getaway with everyone for their gatherings and our own parties as well!

When you are looking for a place to have a special gathering, do you want a room or an entire 1880s barn and property? Plus, we have fun things to do for all ages😊

Guess what the BEST part of turning our 1880s barn into a venue is..... The people that we meet and form relationships with. Wow, we are so blessed ❣️ Some of our absolute best friends are all because of the barn somehow whether they had an event here, attended an event here, they are vendors, or we've never met and they have never been here but have been following us along on this entire journey of ours or.... Thank you, God! You ALL mean the absolute world to us and we thank you so much for believing in us all these years! "We're getting there" - always working hard to keep looking better out here and being unique, completely different 🙂

It's crazy remembering that we had $7,000 to spend on this nasty old barn back in 2013 and we hoped and prayed and cried and worked like our butts were on fire-literally-our bodies are in awful shape after working as hard as we did/do- and we almost gave up a few times -- but we didn't! And we are SO glad we keep pushing on and don't give up on this dream of ours. 💝🙏🏻💝
