Happy Christmas Eve-Eve, friends!
I am hopping on here to let you know that if you happen to need a last minute gift idea, I have a good one! We are hosting a Fixer to Fabulous season finale celebration at our Berry Farm and tickets go on sale TODAY. We are only selling 100 tickets and they will likely go fast – so, go ahead and reserve yours now and it’ll double as a fun Christmas gift!
Here’s the scoop: two of our favorite people in the world are coming to town the same week as our last episode airs. Pastor John and Orpah will be here visiting from Zimbabwe and the timing of their visit is just too perfect to not throw a big party for the occasion!
Tickets are on sale HERE.
The last episode of the season airs on January 14th at 9/8c (it will actually be the original pilot episode we filmed). It’s a crazy full circle moment for Dave and I because we renovated that very first home for our friends, the Newberrys, who were moving back home to Arkansas after living in Uganda for several years while working for Help One Now. And, our partnership with Help One Now is what led us to work with and get to know Pastor John and Orpah. And, our time in Zimbabwe with these gifted leaders is what led to the creation of the Gatehouse Project, an agriculture training program for orphaned teens, in Zimbabwe funded by our Berry Farm here in Bentonville.
Are you still following all of this? (If not, you can read more here).
Because of all of these connections, we thought it would only be fitting to host the season finale watch party and celebration in our white barn at The Berry Farm. And, because the training program is incredibly important to our family, we wanted to use this opportunity to raise enough money to fund ten new students for the 2020 training year (our goal of $15,000 will send ten students through a full year in the training program).
How will it work?
We will gather for a delicious dinner and drinks provided by Fiamma 1873 (their generosity will allow 100% of ticket sales to go directly to the Zimbabwe program!), hear stories of the work taking place in Zimbabwe directly from John & Orpah and then we will watch the last episode of the season together. We cannot wait to open the doors of our barn for this evening of storytelling, hope and celebration!
BUT! It doesn’t end there! Dave had a super fun idea to sell a handful of “Behind the Scenes” experience packages in addition to the events of the evening! If you purchase this experience, you will join Dave, Chase and I for lunch and a tour around town to see a few of the homes from the season. Then, we will get to spend some time with one of our favorites – Joe! And, of course, his mini donkeys- yes, the one and only Tator, Lily, Spud and Muffin! We will then spend time with Dave and Chase in the shop learning how to create something special that you will take home with you. This experience will take place during the day and then you’ll come back that evening to join us for the season finale party at the barn.
I can’t get over how much fun this is going to be. The fact that you all have supported our little family and our work and the show and our farm… it’s so overwhelming and humbling. We are honored and grateful to be able to host Pastor John and Orpah during this time and cannot wait to introduce them both to you all. I can tell you from experience, you will come away better just for having spent time with these two.
From our family to yours, we wish you all a VERY merry and blessed Christmas! I hope to see you next month at the farm!
Much love, Jenny
