Just one of the “kids”



A while back, we shared some stories about the various creatures which roam the woods and fields near our offices here in Maine. And, we solicited photos and stories about your CedarWorks swing set and the pets and/or wild animals (no, not your kids) that use it.

I recently received these great photos from Debra White who is president of Winslow Farm Animal Sanctuary in Norton, MA. Debra had contacted us earlier this year about a Serendipity swing set for her unique organization. As described on its website (www.winslowfarm.com), Winslow Farm is a “stay-for-life animal sanctuary dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and care of mistreated and abandoned animals”. In addition, the farm aims to “promote the prevention of animal mistreatment through quality educational programs and events, and to advocate the preservation of wildlife habitat.”

As we had understood it, the swing set was to be another great reason for the young visitors at Winslow Farm to have fun while being educated. We believe that this is what Debra was planning as well. But, apparently, Mervin the goat had other ideas (he was a kid once too, right?).

We still don’t know who has more fun with the swing set – Mervin or the human kids. But it really doesn’t matter as long as the swing set continues to get good use, and Mervin continues to prefer tin cans and goat chow over cedar.
