What a fun night! Lovely & lively music, an enthusiastic crowd, a crackling campfire, and a beautiful backdrop. We enjoyed another Labor Day weekend kickoff at Jack-The-Horse Resort. This is Sonic Love Child's 3rd time playing at the resort! You can preview their music on YOUTUBE or facebook...you'll love it!

 
 
 





WOOD Chuck

 
We found this little fellow one afternoon sitting patiently in the window well of our office. Our rescue method? Put a small wood board in the window well and wait for him to walk the plank (pun intended). It only took him a few minutes to figure out what to do next. He escaped cautiously...
