      "Target Gives Back to Help Hurting Kids and Horses"


 Helping hands helped to paint fence that secures 15  theraputic horses at the Ranch.  Target employees  also painted the new chicken coop and helped to construct fences/gates.  Everyone enjoyed a hot dog roast afterwards with plenty of fun and teamwork.  We are already looking for more partnership opportunities with Target in the future.
