2009 Party
On May 1-3, 2009 we will have our first annual Bettendorf Farm Party. We will be celebrating good friends and being cancer free for 2 years. Everyone is invited!! We are going to secure the animals in the paddock to open up the pasture for camping. There will be running water at a spigot off the pasture, port-a-potties (next year we hope to have flush toilets), BBQ grills, smoked pork, bon fire, activities and fun fellowship.

Arrivals find their camping spots and set up tents. Visit around the bon fire.

Katie,
I’m just catching up on my email in waiting, and we are very excited that we will be with you and your family for this party! It sounds like so much fun! We want to go to the Bakersville Festival too!
I am so bummed, but my husband made an executive decision last night and said we won’t be able to make it to the party this year.
Sorry for the late notice.
No problem, we’ll catch you on the flip side. :)
Katie, can you email me? Thanks!
Am I the only one who doesn’t know how to get to the party? We’re still trying to come, even with the forcast as it is.
We can’t come anymore! I am so sad. We can’t even go to the festival. We are staying home unless we absolutely have to leave, until the H1N1 flu is less of a threat.
Have fun!
