The bluegrass festival fundraiser was excellent. They had 2 covered stages for the bands. And they were far enough apart that they didn't interfere with the other

Such an amazing animal refuge! Beautiful property with dogs, cats, birds, farm animals and more. Great place to visit for a family day out.

I was just at my nephews house and we were entertained by 6 cats( all rescued) that were in his house. More were hiding and outside. Then your Alaqua Animal Refuge popped up. I thought it was his refuge at that point. He really spoils his cats.
