SUPPORT the Toucan Rescue Ranch with Gently Used and New Fleece Blankets and Donations at the Johns CReek Fall Family Festival

PLEASE HELP SUPPORT the Toucan Rescue Ranch during the 5th Annual Johns Creek Fall Family Festival at Newtown, Park this Saturday, from 10am-3pm and bring your gently used or new small fleece blankets to donate for the Baby Sloths, Toucans, Owls and other rescued animals on the Ranch. Courtney Jones, a senior at Mills Springs Academy in Alpharetta, and Anthony Jones, an 8th grader at River Trail Middle School are leading this effort as a community service project, after spending two weeks in Costa Rica this past summer on a church mission trip with Mt. Pisgah United Methodist Church and for some Spanish immersion. Courtney and Anthony fell in love with the ranches animal residents and committed themselves to raise $500 for an enclosure for the new rescued animals, and to collect fleece blankets for the smallest and youngest animal residents. Come and see the book that was written just about them and learn the history of the ONLY facility that specializes in the rescue of Toucans and Sloths. Learn how they succeeded as the ONLY facility in the world, to breed in captivity some of our most precious animals and amphibians. We know that you will fall in love with them just like we have!
