PROJECT - 2009 OLD FRIENDS CALENDAR
We’re also planning a calendar for 2009. Great equine photographers such as Katey Barrett, Barbara Livingston and Robbi Meisel are all contributing photos and Katey is spearheading the publication. We aim to make it the best of all racing calendars with excellent detail and printed on heavy stock. It costs about $100 per day to feed our retirees. So we’re offering every day of the year for sponsorships. For a $100 donation you can have a name printed on the calendar for the day of your choice, on a first-come, first-served basis. You also get a free calendar. Well, I guess it's really not free if you’re forking over $100. Honor a loved one, a pet, your favorite horse, or a memorial date. If you want to help, just send the tax deductible donation to Old Friends, 1841 Payne’s Depot Rd., Georgetown, KY 40324 and write Calendar on the check - include the wording you'd like for the calendar date. You can also donate with paypal or call the office with credit card info at 502-863-1775. click here for calendar form
PROJECT- OLD FRIENDS ARTIST SIGNATURE SERIES OF CHRISMAN MILL WINES
2007 - Our artist signature label wine project with Chrisman Mill Winery kicked off with a flying start that none of us could have imagined! 1000 bottles of their Kentucky Chambourcin with the first Old Friends label. Our very own little Silver Charm - Michael's rescued miniature horse is featured on the label. Actor Jack Nicholson sketched Silver Charm for Michael a few years back & kindly agreed to let us use it. Blended into his sketch is a photo of Silver Charm himself.
