Alright losers. If you're new to this dance party, there's a farmer's market every Tuesday and Thursday out at the Barns. Just take a waypoint. It's a dairy and textile farm so don't come looking for vegetables or whatever. Dairy products, wool, some fucking ~fiber arts~, that sort of thing.

This month, Syd and I planned a team up with Vallo's Animal Shelter and we're doing something different on the 14th.

You could spend Valentine's at a boring restaurant or sitting on your couch and stuffing your face like a sad sack. Or, you could come out and meet a bunch of animals that need homes. There are even activities and shit.

Cat Cuddling Booth
Dog Scavenger Hunt
Paw Paint
Costume Photo Booth
Sargent says there will be some knitted animal clothes (100% of profits go to the shelter). But if you just want to donate to help the shelter out, you can do that too. Listen, I'm skipping church for this so just show up so God will forgive me ok?

Look at all this effort. Now you get to help me make this shit a reality. What do you think about putting heart-shaped name tags on all the animals (or their cages)? Too cheesy?

	Wednesday afternoons are usually pretty chill if we want to set stuff up tomorrow to take pictures at the shelter? Maybe with a little chair and backdrop or something? We can get some Valentine's Day decorations to put around them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	AND the really shy ones that might be more nervous around a lot of people but would do really well in a one-on-one environment. OH guys can we set up maybe like a quiet little area for the more shy ones? So people can get to know them if they're a little panicked with everyone around? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
