Best party ever - Goat Days - June 18-22 - Horizon View Park
Sunday, June 12, 2011
June 18-22, noon to 7 pm - watch 250 goats chomping down the blackberry bushes at Horizon View Park.
Part of the Lake Forest Park 50th Anniversary Celebration, Goat Days features - well, what else? goats!
When they are not eating the vines and weeds, they will be in a petting zoo (hand sanitizer available).
28 businesses (80%) in LFP are supporting Goat Days by providing coupons in a packet that will be provided to everyone for a $10 donation. The packet will also include a bar of goat soap, washable tattoos for kids, and approximately $280 worth of coupons to local merchants.
On Saturday, June 18, the site will become a huge carnival. The City is providing free hot dogs, ice cream, and drinks - plus games for the kids.
Goat Days is a project of the Lake Forest Park Stewardship Foundation.

Where did the Stewardship Foundation get the money to host this and pay for the free food, drinks, etc.? Surely not from their own pockets nor grants. Sort of gives you a hint, doesn't it . . .
Most of the Goat Days expenses are covered by business sponsors, including Frank Lumber, Third Place Books and Lake Forest Park Cleaners, as well as through the distribution of the Goat Days packets. The Lake Forest Park Stewardship Foundation is covering any remaining costs out of their own funds.
The city is having its own anniversary celebration and has chosen to provide food and drinks.
