Thank You for Making Our 2026 Family Hoedown a Success

Our first-ever Family Hoedown was a wonderful day of community, connection, and fun at the ranch! We were thrilled to welcome so many new faces, along with familiar friends, for a beautiful Saturday spent together in the great outdoors. Families explored our farmers market stand, enjoyed pony and horse rides, visited the petting zoos, grabbed lunch from local food trucks, and got creative at hands-on kids’ stations, including a crowd-favorite slime station.

This year’s Hoedown was also an important fundraiser for our Barnyard Program, which brings some of our beloved ranch animals out into the community to visit nursing homes, hospitals, Juvenile Hall, and more. Funds raised will help us work toward a new “Mini Mobile” so we can continue bringing the joy, healing, and connection of the ranch to those who may not be able to visit us in person.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, and helped make our very first Family Hoedown such a huge success.

Couldn’t make it to the Hoedown?
