The Opening of the New Spaces @ Ancient Oaks
8-8-2008 (at 8:08pm!)

See a panorama of the completed spaces (and an even bigger version here too!)

Thanks to Reno deCaro for these superb pictures of our grand opening at 8-8-08 (8:08pm). We blessed ten years at "the farm" here and the new structures built this year. See the group (many of the same people) a decade ago at the original 8-8-98 blessing!
