Join us for a fun-filled day at Steam Pump Ranch on December 8! It’s Second Saturday, and we’ve got a great lineup of activities waiting for you. From tours and the Heirloom Farmer’s Market to Heritage Garden demos and live music, there’s something for everyone. We’re thrilled to welcome Alan Day, brother of retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, as our guest speaker. He’ll be sharing stories about growing up on the Day Ranch and his efforts to save wild mustangs between 1989 and 1994.
As a special holiday treat, don’t miss the live radio play of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” presented by QUEST for Drama. Adapted for radio-on-stage by Tony Palermo, the play is arranged by Johnathan Green and directed by Rachel Dircks. This touching story is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit. Support this talented group of young performers as they bring the tale of George Bailey to life. And yes, free snacks will be available!
