Ellen Bacca will welcome you!
She is our guest hostess for the evening and a frequent participant in our weekly “Hard Hat” reports that can be seen on our Facebook page! She is the Chief Meteorologist on WOOD-TV8 in Grand Rapids and a dear friend of the Critter Barn.
DuneGrass Band will entertain you
with their great voices, contagious enthusiasm, and toe-tapping country-blue-grass music.
Sing along with the theme song: “We’re mooovin’ on up... to the east side!”
Joel Schoon-Tanis will be painting
Joel will be there to create a live painting and will share his thoughts about Critter Barn’s plans.
His new collection, “The Art of Farming: Critter Conversations”, will be all around the new farm as a permanent display. These paintings will be “auctioned off” to be sponsored, so your name could appear on the sponsorship plaque at Critter Barn. Highest bidders will take home a signed and dated duplicate of Joel’s painting for your own enjoyment. Limited additional prints will also be available for purchase with proceeds supporting the farm!

What else can we say? Enjoy the savory appetizers that MaryBeth Apple Catering is cooking up for us! Tables and chairs will be scattered through the barn for your convenience so you can snack and mingle with friends while you enjoy the food and browse around the new barn!
Program
