Funny Farm Rescue and Sanctuary hosted its annual Fall Festival on Sunday, Oct. 13. There was no shortage of smiles as guests were greeted by just some of the 700+ rescue animals on-site. Dozens of volunteers were on the festival grounds all day, assisting visitors.
The annual Fall Festival has become one of the largest and most anticipated events of the year for Southern New Jersey, boasting tons of activities, from face painting to music, vendors, food, dancing, raffle prizes, and much more. The highlight of the day was a hayride tour of the facility hosted by a member of the Funny Farm team. Overall, the day was an immense success, with proceeds benefiting the animal sanctuary.
Funny Farm is one of the largest animal sanctuaries in the United States, creating a home for animals that were either unwanted or have special needs, and allowing them to live out their natural lives. The organization regularly seeks volunteers. Individuals and groups who are interested in helping may visit the volunteer page on their website to sign up. You can also assist with a monetary donation or by dropping off much needed supplies. Visit www.funnyfarmrescue.org to learn more.
