Hey friends,
You know GOAT Days is a great time! Did you know that all proceeds go to local charities? (You know, the ones that really struggle.)

If you can give a few hours of your time to hang out at the entrance this weekend and ask attendees for a buck or two we will give you a great T-shirt and our gratitude. Text Lisa at (203) 788-9040 for more info. NM High School credits available too!

Also, time in the Goat Pen!! 🩵🩵

Thanks!
