I'm willing to 'host' a Herdstock here at our place (located near Marion, IN 46953), provided there's enough interest AND everyone agrees to some ground rules.
I don't do heat well at all, so that sort of rules out summer.... I'm thinking it's too late to do one yet this spring (or is it?) so maybe Mid-September-ish...?
We have 18 acres, folks could wander the trails, sit and chat, and in the past (at Chickenstocks) we've done group tours of the barns / pens so that people could see the animals.
We can go for Gator Rides.
Cookout in the early afternoon. (We'll furnish burgers / dogs, and everyone bring something - we'll have a sign up sheet if we get to that point, no need to list what you'll bring yet.)
Couple things we'd need to iron out before we pick a date, though.
First off... would a Saturday or Sunday work best?
Is late May this year enough notice, or should we wait til September?
(Please only weigh in w/ your answers if you can actually attend....)
Thanks.
Oh...and the #1 ground rule will be, EVERYONE respects our property / animals at all times.
Kids are welcome, of course... but no poking holes in things, rocks at things, stomping my flowers, peeing in my driveway, etc. etc.
I know kids will be kids, and that's fine...but no screaming or running near the animal pens...they're not used to it and it upsets the dogs / goats / chickens.
(pondering setting up a 'play' area, maybe w/ badminton or some such...where the kids can hang out....what do ya think?)
