We all know that God is the REAL Superhero in our lives, but it sure was fun being a princess and superhero at Salix Bethel on March 17th!  We want to thank Miss Kendall Buchkovich and her crew for making our kiddos feel extra special by putting tinsel in the princesses' hair and bringing crowns for all!

Great Dane, Sig.  Colleen Mullen shared her rabbits and baby goats that were still being bottle fed! Finally, Tina Gaydos shared her precious, little goats with us.  THANK YOU, friends, for bringing so much happiness to many people, both young and old alike!
