Kick off the holiday season with us at Ferne’s Acres Animal Sanctuary’s Paws & Hooves Holly Market!
Shop early, shop local, and support an amazing cause! With a lineup of incredible local vendors, you’ll find unique gifts, festive treats, and everything you need to get ahead on your holiday shopping.
Plus, bring your pets for Photos with Santa! Please note that Santa will be green, Grinchy and may steal Christmas, but he's totally the real Santa!* All proceeds help care for the animals at Ferne’s Acres.
Keep the fun going with a 50/50 draw, Ferne’s Acres swag, and door prize tickets available for purchase, all supporting the sanctuary.
Mark your calendars, invite your friends, and join us for a day full of paws, presents, and festive fun!
*The Grinch is not the real Santa, we are simply playing along with his ruse so he will attend our event.
