Summer and Fall 2024 at Cabin Creek

Mr. Cowboy amongst the fall foliage

It’s not officially winter yet, but here in Saratoga we’ve already had our first snowfall, and the holiday spirit is in the air. With that, I am ready to share my some summer and fall photos I took at Old Friends at Cabin Creek this year. I hope you enjoy them! Click here to view my previous Old Friends posts.

It’s an exhausting life for Rudy the barn panther. Being so handsome takes a lot out of him.


In October, JoAnn and Mark hosted a party at the farm for volunteers! These horses and mini bales of hay were table decorations.

In October, we hosted the Maple Avenue Middle School community. It was all hands on deck for tour guides as we introduced staff and students to the boys.
