Dear Friends,
This holiday season please support Frying Pan Farm Park in your end of year giving. This year's Annual Appeal will honor the memory of Jesse and Michael. Those two wonderful Percheron draft horses joined the farm family in 1999 working the fields and pulling wagon rides. Their senior years were spent greeting visitors from their stalls and enjoying the park's lush pastures. It's a good thing big horses have big hearts because they had so much love to give and so many who loved them. Michael passed in 2013 and we lost Jesse in October of this year.
Your outpouring of support and sympathy for their passing was a great comfort:

My children went to see Jesse and Michael several times weekly when they were younger. We are sad that this era has come to a close. Hopefully a new team will come soon. 
- Sarah J.

Sweet baby boy made so many people so happy throughout the years. - Amy W.

I remember when I first met Jesse back in preschool 15 years ago. I can't believe he's gone. - Sean M.

So sad. Our kids adored him. He had such a sweet soul and will be missed. - Courtney T.

Glad that Jesse and Michael had a long and happy life touching so many people and teaching them about life on the farm and so much more. I miss you both. I hope their stall will not be empty for long and that Fairfax County Park Service can bring a new team of gentle giants to keep the old traditions alive. RIP sweet souls. - Line S.

Your donation will help us bring "gentle giants" back to Frying Pan Farm Park so that future visitors can also have this special bond with horses. Funds from this year's Annual Appeal will go toward research and acquisition of a new team, training, care and other farm operations. Your donations are not only a gift to the park, but also to the entire community the park has served over many generations.
Please see the side column for information on the many ways to give.  Friends of Frying Pan Farm Park is a 501(c)(3) organization and your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. 
 
Thank you in advance for your generosity and I look forward to seeing you "down on the farm."  It is through friends like you that Frying Pan Farm Park continues to be a park by the community for the community.
 
Sincerely, 
Jack Pitzer
