Event Info/5th Anniversary
I don't know about you, but I can not believe it has been 5 years since I moved from Maryland to Virginia all to start Little Buckets Farm Sanctuary. I moved 19 animals here all in the hopes to be able to save more precious lives and to help spread compassion by showing the sweet, loving personalities of farm animals. One month after starting Little Buckets in May 2018, Bucket and Colton were featured on The Dodo and Little Buckets social media immediately grew faster than I could have ever dreamed and by the end of 2018, we became an official nonprofit 501(c)(3). Fast forward, Little Buckets is now home to almost 50 animals (I don't like counting) from donkeys to goats to cows to horses to pigs to dogs to cats and guinea fowl. During this amazing whirlwind of a 5 years, I have gotten to know so many loving, compassionate, generous people who I would call very much a friend. And one of the hopes with this event is I will get to meet these friends in person, see my old friends, my family, my incredible volunteer team, and new friends all on one very special night.
The event will be casual with a very laid back atmosphere that will include music by Acoustic Fuego. Jimmy and his band are driving down from New Jersey for this event. Jimmy has been super supportive of Little Buckets and has helped us several times by hosting Facebook Live Concerts. Heavy Hors D'oeuvres will be served by Pure Vegan Cafe. This will be a BYOB Event(beer/wine only)(Pending our ABC Liquor Event License). Each person will receive a Swag bag to take home. And running along will be an online auction that most of the bidding will be ending the night of the event. Be ready to play some corn hole, sit by a firepit, dance, hang out with Pisa and Colton and so much more.
Please know this is our first big event that we have ever planned. I have been doing a lot of the planning on top of taking care of the sanctuary with a great volunteer team. We know there will be some hiccups but the goal is to have an amazing time with amazing people and raise some much needed funds for the animals. We hope to raise money that will be going towards the ever increasing expenses from feed, hay, vet bills, farrier bills, bedding, needed shelters, and so, so, so much more.
Please see below for more details on Tickets and the Online Auction.

Love,
Susan
