One of the things I love most about my job is being part of a community of inspiring, compassionate people who share a vision for a kinder world. To that end, I always look forward to events like Sanctuary Weekend (formerly Hoedown) that bring us, and our rescued animal friends, together.
For everyone's safety, we won't be able to meet in person this year. However, Farm Sanctuary is excited to present Sanctuary Weekend as a free, virtual event in 2020.
.
Please join us for virtual tours of both our Acton and Watkins Glen Sanctuaries, along with conversations geared towards inclusivity and growth as an organization and community.
We can't wait to share a little bit of Sanctuary with you.
Warmly,
Megan Watkins
Chief Executive Officer

Imagine: It's a warm summer's day at our Southern California Sanctuary, and you're lounging in the sand with a pack of sleepy rescued pigs. In the time it takes you to stand up and kick the mud off of your boots, you're suddenly transported to the spacious pastures of our New York Sanctuary, where you find yourself surrounded by curious goats and friendly sheep eager for your attention.
This doesn't have to be a daydream. Join us on Au?gust 22-23 for our virtual Sanctuary Weekend event featuring both of our Sanctuaries-no plane tickets required.

Formerly known as the "Hoedown," Sanctuary Weekend is a beloved annual event typically held at our flagship New York Sanctuary. This year, for everyone's safety, we won't be convening in person-but that won't hold us back from coming together as a community. And it gives us the opportunity to visit both Sanctuaries.
As always, our rescued residents remain the heart of Sanctuary Weekend. Our lifesaving work-and the healing space that you help us provide-are essential, especially now. Our knowledgeable shelter team will share recaps of this year's notable rescues, and take you around each Sanctuary to meet the animals.
We'll also be creating space for the big ideas you've come to expect at Sanctuary Weekend, with a special panel discussion on community building featuring guest speakers. Plus, our leadership team will dive deep into our mission and the work we're doing to create Sanctuary for all.
We hope you'll join us August 22-23 for an inspiring weekend rooted in compassion. See you then!
