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!
ALSO - You will find our Historic Preservation Commission booth at Draper's Earth Day event! Find out how Historic Preservation is GREEN, check out Day Barn progress, donate and have an all-round great time with family and friends. Here's the flyer below. OH, and keep in mind our Day Barn Yard Sale on May 8th. Please donate and attend if you can! Thanks!
This historic, depression-era dairy barn is relocated to Draper's Town Center and renovations for multi-purpose use by the community are complete - thanks to the generosity of many wonderful donors. The Day Barn has been donated to Draper City and is a very popular spot for family parties, dances, reunions, art shows, receptions, community gatherings, farmer's markets and more. You can reserve the Day Barn for your event by calling Draper City at 801-576-6500.

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!
