  • Did you know?
    Thanks to you guys The Halloween Harvest II was a success! However successful, it will be the last time we will hold the Halloween Harvest. What will we do instead? We thought we'd rather spend what little money we and our vistors have to help make the world a better place! So, starting December 1st, The Black Forest will begin Project Heifer!

    Heifer.org is a non-profit organization that collects money and buys livestock for families. There's that saying, "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, but teach a man how to fish and you feed him for life." Well, they do just that. They buy a cow and give it to a family, and since a cow makes 4 gallons of milk a day, they can feed their family and sell the left over milk to make money. Once that cow has a baby, they must give it to another family in the community and teach them the same. It's all a cycle of help and self reliance that helps people in a struggle help make a better life for themselves.

    Just visit their web site for more information. I hope you guys aren't disappointed, this project will hopefully help many all over the world!
