SASHA Farm Animal Sanctuary located at 17901 Mahrle Rd., will host its annual, family-friendly Fundraiser & Spring Social Open House on Sunday, May 20th from noon to 4 pm. Tickets cost $15 for adults and $5 for children under 10, and are available on their website or at the door. Visitors will be able to meet and interact with the more than 250 animals who live at the sanctuary–including cows, pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, horses, and other animals. Hear their unique stories and learn about their likes, dislikes, and personalities. Tours will be available throughout the day, and two food trucks selling tasty vegan food will be available, along with a bake sale where all your favorite vegan sweets will be available for sale. Princess Belle will entertain children between 1-2 pm. T-shirts and other merchandise will be for sale throughout the day. This is a rain or shine event!

SASHA Farm is the Midwest’s largest farmed animal sanctuary. Founded by Manchester residents Dorothy Davies and Monte Jackson, SASHA Farm started rescuing animals in the 1980s, and became a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2001. SASHA provides lifetime care to farmed animals formerly destined for slaughter or who were abused, neglected, abandoned, or no longer able to be cared for.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
