We also want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our longtime sponsor, Red Bell Run Foundation, Inc. Their unwavering dedication to our cause has been instrumental in bringing our festival to life. The festivities brimming with food, fireworks, and enjoyable activities would have been impossible without their generous donation. Red Bell Run Foundation, Inc. serves as a vital supporter of our festival and a beacon of hope for equines throughout the United States. Through their collaboration with various rescues, they provide sanctuary to equines who are considered un-adoptable or in need of end-of-life care. From miniature hinnies and donkeys

to ponies, horses, draft mules, and even Mammoth donkeys, each resident receives individualized care overseen by their knowledgeable staff, farriers, and veterinarians. Moreover, I'm thrilled to share that Red Bell Run Foundation offers Airbnb services, providing guests with an unforgettable experience amidst stunning mountains and the calming presence of Sanctuary equines. The Longears Cabin offers a serene retreat, conveniently located near the Tryon International Equestrian Center, award-winning wineries, and locally owned restaurants. Surrounded by rolling hills and over 50 of their donkeys, horses, and draft mules, guests are treated to breathtaking views and a unique opportunity to connect with these magnificent animals.
