Retirement Home For Horses at Mill Creek Farm
Details
Hopefully it hasn't gotten too hot for a visit to the Mill Creek Farm. For those who like to walk, we should be able to cover about 4 miles while feeding the horses and various other animals. What a nice way to work out :-)
Bring water, hat and sunscreen.
We will meet along the fences to the left after you go through the entrance. We will start walking around 11:10 to give time for everyone to get through the entrance.

Admission is 2 carrots but they also welcome cash donations. Some horses can't eat carrots. For those, bananas are good. Apples that are decored are also good to bring but be sure to read the signs because some of the animals are on restricted diets.
Afterwards, we will go to the Great Outdoors for lunch.
