Well, we tried. It was a BIG stack of old wood, but the rain and fog, the ice and snow, just did us in. There was enough to keep the surrounding prairie from burning…and there was enough to keep our bonfire from taking off too.

We still had a great time getting that sucker started! Thank you friends who came and threw sticks and grass on our little flames, who fanned them with clipboards, who laughingly blew on them and who risked burnt eyebrows from our gas-flinging!

The rest will have to wait for dryer weather.

Now’s the time to plan Draco Hill Nature Farm events for 2025! Contact us with any ideas for what you’d like to see happen out here. We’re open to all ideas.
