DUSTY And RUSTY the Lion Head bunnies were earning money for Habitat for Humanity today at “Shack-a-thon on The Brickyard at NCSU. Farmer Mary had BUTTERCUP the baby goat along too.
This week Farmer Mary’s youngest son, Thomas, a Freshman at NCSU, is participating in “Shack-a-Thon”. This fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity happens every year on campus. Clubs and groups from different majors build a tiny house on the Brickyard in front of the D. H. Hill Library. They commit to build it in one day, staff it 24 hours a day for a week, then dismantle it in a day, donating all materials to Habitat.
They also raise funds to help Habitat construct a single home. Thomas’s group from IMPACT Leadership Village has partnered with the Engineering Village. Their shack has a Game Of Thrones theme so has a handmade throne inside.
Farmer Mary will be back with animals tomorrow around 1-6.
If you would like to meet all the animals at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo, PLEASE read the entire “your visit” at www.winterpast.org which very fully explains parking, our admission price, and lists a wide variety of food you can bring for feeding the animals.
