What an amazing Spring Picnic and Garden Gallop 5K! We honestly can’t stop thinking about it. The music was incredible, the run route a rugged good time, the weather was gorgeous, and the company couldn’t have been better. Our photographer captured so many beautiful images from the day, that we posted the collection in its entirety on Facebook here. Check ‘em out and tag yourself!

We have quite a lot of thanks to mention... so, here we go! First of all, thank you so much to our volunteers, we honestly couldn’t have done it without you. We know you could spend your Saturday doing anything else, and that you donated your time to us means the world. Thank you to Marcelo’s Sand and Loam for donating sand! The sandpile was once again a HUGE hit, and even better with a fresh supply to conquer. We are grateful for Whittlesey Landscape Supplies for kindly gifting mulch so as to transform our mud pit into a dance-able and picnic-able surface. Oscar Ornelias and Jonny Nicholas had everyone grooving, too, and for that we are ever-so-thankful! We are so lucky to have so many talented musicians here in our fair town.

We appreciate The ABGB for being such wonderful partners and supplying beer to quench our hard-working volunteers’, musicians’, and employees’ thirst. A huge thanks to The Ginger Armadillo for once again trekking out to the farm to sling their delectable fares and to Chameleon Cold-Brew for ensuring that everyone was sufficiently caffeinated and entertained with their cornhole and giant Jenga! We are also thankful for Austin Materials Marketplace for supplying most all of the materials for our kids’ activities and all the signs in general. Recycling materials is so fun!

We want to thank everyone in our community who came out to hang, enjoy a picnic, or dance to some rockin’ tunes. To the runners and walkers, we are grateful that you came out and braved the mud. Made for a rugged and farm-tastic run, eh? Steve Sisson and his Rogue Running crew once again transformed our muddy farm into one awesome 5K route, and for that, we are so very grateful. A huge congrats to our two first place winners, Tanya Stanley and Jason Brooks! Keep on runnin', folks! 'Til next time.
