Animal Benches

Park benches on a farm? Absolutely!

Your gift of $1,500 will sponsor a farm-animal-bench, created and painted by local artist Joel Schoon-Tanis. Kids will love the animation and humor that these beautiful animal images will add to any "resting" moment.

Your contribution will serve as a lasting memory. Each bench will have two sponsors. Your name will be automatically recorded on the Wall of Honor in the Welcome Center, but also on a Plaque attached to your bench!

We will be sitting in style!

Animal Paintings

Help us decorate the walls! Artist Joel Schoon Tanis has been busy creating his new Critter Barn collection, “The Art of Farming: Critter Conversations.” These paintings will be all around the new farm as a permanent display.

When you donate, your name will be automatically recorded on the Wall of Honor in the Welcome Center, but also on a Plaque next to your sponsored painting! You will also get your own 10" x 10" framed print of the painting you sponsor.
