Family Fun Day at The Ranch – a Family-friendly Fundraiser for Wild Aware
The outdoor activities around Evergreen abound. Winter sports, summer sports, nature-centered camps and wildlife education are plentiful for kids of all ages. But not all kids have easy access to the domestic animals living here. Introducing a new kind of event for families, Wild Aware’s first family-oriented fundraiser, “Family Fun Day at the Ranch.” Families and kids of all ages are invited to a very special ranch in Evergreen, a beautiful 15-acre equestrian ranch filled with special visitors, games, activities and animals children won’t want to leave.

Join Wild Aware volunteers and their families on Saturday, July 15, 2023, between 10am – 2pm as we host an outdoor event with something for everyone. Bring a picnic lunch, soft drinks, blanket and discover with your kids all the splendors of ranch life. Meet little Flicka, a beautiful female miniature white horse who is as gentle as a lamb. Kids can feed her, and Flicka loves to pose for photos.
We’ll welcome Hawkquest, a local nonprofit, who will come with four different raptors including a bald eagle, peregrine falcon, hawk and an owl. Hawkquest has a participatory approach to education with these amazing birds of prey. Visit with the most curious beasts on the ranch, the six goats. You’re invited to pet them, play with them, and give them treats as they follow visitors around and down to their climbing playground where kids are invited to join them. Meet the two newest goats, too, little babies just the right size for little ones to enjoy.

The Ranch has gorgeous horses to visit and a stocked pond for those who wish to feed the fish, and a sturdy treehouse nearby. There is a little ancient cabin that has been transformed into the cutest playhouse with vintage toys and miniatures, a nice place to relax while the kids play. Learning about local wildlife, we’ll have games and a scavenger hunt to teach kids about our wildlife neighbors.

And finally, a spot that is sure to be the highlight with the older kids is the hay barn with a rope swing; swinging from the rafters is allowed. Parents can visit Wild Aware’s other nature and environmental nonprofit partners in the hay barn as the kids swing.
Admission to Family Fun Day at the Ranch is just $10 per adult and $5 per child. This event is rain or shine. No refunds allowed. Click on the link below to register. You’ll receive a receipt with the ranch address. We’ll see you there.
