A great dinner for a great cause, it’s a date! We recently attended the annual dinner & auction fundraising event at Madison Grove Farm. It’s a non-profit equestrian farm located in Fall City, Washington. Marla McNary, the founder and her husband Darin have been working to build, expand and make the farm to be a place to rejuvenate and to rehabilitate neglected/abused horses as well as struggling children and families. This is also a place our daughter, Grace has been taking riding lessons, learning to care for the animals on the farm and be a volunteer to help other kids. In just a few years, we have come to know Marla and see how she touches so many lives. The farm gives kids a place to let their guard down, feel normal and have fun.
Here are a few pictures from our dinner at the farm.
The weather was just right, warm and blue sky.
Cakes to be auctioned off for dessert (the highest bid total per table gets to choose their cake first).
Two young volunteers, Annie (L) and Emily(R) introduced the two miniature horses, Bud and Shadow to the guests.

Star, a thoroughbred is the newest addition to the Madison Grove Farm family. She was rescued from neglect and starvation in 2011 (see the before & after pictures here). Madison Grove Farm partnered with Serenity Equine Rescue to give this beautiful horse a new life.
Thank you Marla & Darin for sharing your farm with us.
