Events

On September 6, 2025, the Barn was officially ROCKED when The Lonely Hearts Club, the PNW’s premiere Beatles tribute band, visited the farm, and took us down memory lane — and onto the dance floor. Off the Vine Catering, once again, served their off-the-hook delectable bites. The night was capped off by a rousing silent auction and raffle. The big winners included Rhonda Bishop taking home the weekend getaway at Alderbrook Spa, and Bart Kelly winning a weekend in Palm Springs!! All told, we raised more than $13,000, thanks to all of our generous supporters and sponsors. Thank you all!!

On September 7, 2024, Barn Stars hosted our second annual fundraiser, Rock the Barn 2: Casino Night! Blackjack, Craps & Roulette were the games of choice with winners taking home wonderful prizes, including the grand prize of a night at Posthotel in Leavenworth. A raucous silent auction was in full swing, all of which raised more than $11,000 toward the animals. Off The Vine Catering kept everybody fat and happy with their tantalizing passed appetizers.

We would like to thank our sponsors and donors who helped make this event so successful!

On September 9, 2023, Barn Stars Animal Rescue hosted our first-ever Rock the Barn Fundraiser event. We are thrilled to have raised more than $10,000 for the animals! It turned out to be a beautiful afternoon with 70 guests showing up to support our cause. In addition to meeting and learning about our Stars, everyone had a great time eating a delicious catered dinner by Green Apple Catering, drinking amazing wines from Obelisco and Laterus, and generously bidding on the many wonderful donated items in the silent auction. The evening was capped off with a groovy show from the rock band, The Encounters, who helped us dance the night away! We look forward to hosting many more events in the future. We thank all of our fabulous Barn Stars supporters!

On Sunday, May 31, 2026, Barn Stars and our supporters, once again, swarmed to Topgolf in Renton to give SHANKS FOR THANKS. We had fun, ate food, and hit lots of (mostly) accurate drives to raise money for our farm minions. It was a beautiful day to swing clubs! Congratulations to all our raffle winners with the Grand Topgolf Prize going to Deb Fouts. The big winners of the Quackers Open Tournament were Dave Barry and Sharon Bradbury.

Thank you to our generous donors:

Topgolf, Massage Envy of Woodinville and Dave & Deanna Pearson.

The children especially had a great time learning about all the rescues and were all wanting, much to their parent’s chagrin, to take a goat, pig, or duck home! Tractor rides were, of course, on the menu and a good time was had by all. If you would like to schedule a family or group visit, please reach out!

On June 19, 2023, Barn Stars welcomed a group of parents, children, and young adults to the farm to meet, pet, and learn about the animals. The Goat Gang welcomed the kids with open hooves. The older kids and adults were invited inside the gate to pet and love on the goats while the smaller children joyfully petted and fed the goats from behind the fence. All attendees received lessons and valuable information about raising, feeding, and caring for Capra hircus (domestic goats). Tractor rides were also in order for the little ones!
