SPCA sets up barn tour
The SPCA’s Annual Barn Tour is this coming Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This year’s event will go to a new part of Aiken, the southern equestrian corridor, where you will see nine lovely barns on roads with names like Boyd Pond Road, Gone Away Lane and Storm Branch Leg. As unique as the road names are, the barns are even more special.
The best part is that you get a perhaps one-time chance to see these privately owned barns, graciously offered to the SPCA for this fun event.
You’ve probably driven by many of these farms and wondered what they were like on the inside. This is your chance to find out firsthand, while benefitting the animal shelter and spay/neuter clinic.
Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the main shelter at 401 Wire Road, at the new downtown Aiken Thrift Store at 404 Richland Ave. or Southside at Auto Tech, 460 Silver Bluff Road. Tickets can also be purchased over the phone by calling the shelter at 648-6863 or at the barns the day of the event.
With your tickets, you will also receive a map of all of the barns, plus a description of what to expect to see at each location, along with a booklet filled with the day’s schedule of events to see.
There will be a freestyle dressage demonstration and a display of natural horsemanship, and even some arena polo will be available for viewing.
For those who want to see a glance into the future of animal welfare, there will be an informational display about the new Adoption Center and Regional Spay and Neuter Clinic to be built soon on Willow Run Road. Complimentary lunch and dessert can also be found along the route, in case your stomach starts to rumble.
There will be a variety of interesting things going on at each barn. They can be seen in any order.
There will be nine beautiful barns to tour, exciting events, good food, fantastic animals to meet and mingling with hundreds of fellow animal lovers all supporting a great cause while having fun at the same time. It doesn’t get much better than that.
The SPCA also still needs a few more volunteers the day of the event to help with parking and checking tickets. For more information or to help out, call the shelter at 648-6863.
Don’t miss out on a chance to help the Aiken SPCA in a fun way. You’ll be talking about the sites you see for a long time afterward.
