Please consider the VIP parking for $10 at the Fall Barn Show this weeked. It will support Dannete Cooke Lyden as she runs the Chicago marathon to raise money for Cancer Research!

The Fall Barn Sale has always been a free event with free parking. We want you to spend every penny shopping with the makers, bakers and creators. We love you all and are grateful for you showing up. I am also grateful for my tribe ....Our volunteers who show up year after year and let me boss them around 🤣 for an entire weekend. We started VIP parking a few years ago to help raise funds for Dannete to run the New York City Marathon and you guys showed up in an unbelievable way. Last year my friend ran that same New York City Marathon and this year Dannete will be running her second Major in Chicago on Oct 11th. I could not be more proud of her.

We would love for you to choose VIP parking for $10 this weekend but will also have our standard free parking if that's just not in the cards for you right now.

If you're not going to make it this year and still want to help. You can donate through this link

Did you know that:
- one spoonful of honey is enough to keep a person alive for 24 hours

- honey is one of the few foods on earth that alone can sustain human life.
- bees saved people from starvation in Africa.
- propolis produced by bees is one of nature's most powerful antibiotics.
- honey has no expiration date.
- the bodies of the world's greatest emperors were buried in golden coffins and then covered with honey to prevent them from rotting.
- the term "honeymoon" comes from the fact that the young couple consumed honey for fertility purposes after marriage.
- a bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1,000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey, but for her it is the work of a lifetime.
Thank you, dear bees!
