Happy Halloween

Sarah and Emma have spent the last 3 nights scaring the many visitors to The Rare Breeds centre during the fear and fright nights and are gearing up for the big finale tonight, the extra hour in bed last night has helped us to re charge our batteries but we both think it will take us some time for our bodies to get over the effects of hanging out of trees, jumping out at people and running through the woods. its been a great fitness workout for our charity challenge.
It has been a busy week at the Rare Breeds centre which has seen a really successful fundraising effort with  collections before pig racing helping us to raise £250.
Huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to this, we have also had out first donation via our justgiving website (www.justgiving.com/chinatrek2012) thank you to vicky.

happy halloween everybody.....
