Jon wrote a press release today for the Bedlam Farm Open House next weekend. For some reason I have a really hard time writing press releases, but Jon knows just what to put in and what to leave out.
I emailed it today to the local papers and a couple of weeks ago we put up posters around town.
Here’s a copy of the press release….
