Hay there everyone!
Since there are
a couple of important days to recognize this week, I thought it would be alright
to take a short break from our cool-school refresher courses and give a
whinny-out to two special events.
 |
| My Best Friend and a delectable duplication of ME! |
First, this past Wednesday was my
best friend’s birthday! Happy birthday bestie! We not only celebrated the beginning of
another year for Karyn Malinowski, director of the Equine Science Center, but the fact that I was delectably
duplicated in cake-form for the party! With all those doughnuts, it was only a matter of time before I
turned into a big palatable pastry! You know what they say… “you are what you eat.”

| Who needs a clone when you can be replicated in cake?? |
My culinary creation was crafted out of
vanilla cake stacked and carved, and wrapped in vanilla buttercream icing. The
coolest part was that in order to personalize my coloring and distinguishing
grey hairs, the baker, Anne - my newest gal pal at the Center, airbrushed the whole cake with hues of brown and
texturized the icing to make it look as realistic as possible! I think my best friend was ready for a party, but I’m not sure she was expecting that I would be there
too - at least in cake spirit! It was a
great celebration and all had their fill of sweets. And actually, now that I think of
it, I didn’t even get a piece of me! I guess I’ll just have to stick with the
doughnuts. I wonder what kind of cake I’ll get on my birthday…
It is also my honor to announce to
you that TOMORROW, Saturday, September 29th, will be the inaugural Open Space Pace Festival of Horses
event! The Open Space Pace, an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting our open land in New Jersey, is sponsoring this event. As much as I like to frolic around in a wide, open pasture, I definitely am in full support of open space. After all, I need plenty of room to exercise and romp around after munching on a few (or a dozen!) treats!
There will be tons of fun booths, animals, racing, food and activities
for everyone to enjoy. Check out this jam packed schedule of activities! The event is FREE so I hope that you take advantage of this
opportunity to spend a beautiful day with horses and horsey people. The Equine
Science Center will be there talking to you about its research projects and
outreach opportunities. Horses will be parading down Main Street in Freehold and then there will be race horses whizzing by at top
speeds on the track. The festival will feature a petting zoo and I'm sure that the llamas and goats will be waiting every time you turn around for you to
give them treats!
I hope you will take some time to
trot around the activities at the Open Space Pace event, and since my I can’t
go with my best friend this time, write your highlights in the comment box below so I
can imagine being there! Happy celebrating!
Yours sweetly,
