Sorry folks. So much time has passed since the last blog entry. The progress on the barn has been monumental! It will take a while to get all the updates and photos posted here, but we will.
This last Friday and Saturday we had a little open house over Draper Days to show folks the progress on the barn. Our visitors were extremely delighted to see just how beautiful and functional the inside of the Barn will be. In Historic Preservation terms, the project would be called "Adaptive Re-use" - changing the historic use of the building to a needed and appropriate NEW use.
The outside of the barn keeps it's Depression Era original architecture. The interior now has electrical wiring, insulation, pine and corrugated metal walls, plumbing, bathroom framing, lighting and more. You'll want to call Draper Parks department now to schedule your next event in the Day Barn.
The push for the last bit of contributions is ON. Please donate if you can. Any amount will help AND as soon as we get the funding the barn can be finished and OPEN for the community! So that means it could be done by the end of August if we can just get a little more help from our friends.
Remember, NO city funds have been used on the Day Barn. It is a gift TO the community FROM the community! Donate $100 or more soon and your name will be on the permanent donor plaque at the Barn!
MORE SOON!

Hello friends,
LaRayne Day, our super-organized and all-round-wonderful secretary tells us that now we have nearly $17,000 in the bank!!! That puts us much closer to our $20,000 goal for the cost of the actual MOOving of the barn. 18K for the mover and some additional for little things like lifting power lines, etc. GREAT NEWS!

WANNA BE A BARN BUDDY???
Dear Friends!
If you are here that must mean you would like a bit-O information about the O-Day Dairy Barn relocation project. Well, things are really starting to pick up speed. I would say the "recession" added a bit-O discouragement to early fundraising efforts but NOW is the time. It's going to happen. With current donations we are up to nearly $15,000 in the bank and only need to raise another $3000 to pay the mover. That isn't too bad. Add on another 2-3K for other moving expenses (like raising power lines) and we'll almost there for the most urgent part of this first phase!!
A number of talented folks, including builder Tod Wadsworth, have stepped forward to donate professional contracting help, in-kind donations and expertise. Soon we will post a list of in-kind donations needed to totally complete and beautify this fun project.
And, of course, we still need cash money.
Every little bit helps. If you can, please send in a contribution today. (Check out our Donate and Barn Buddy pages)
PLUS - check back for more information about our BARN-yard sale coming up on MAY 8th and the amazing fundraiser being held by Fresh Hair Salon in Dillman Square!
