Tim Wise with a winner at Magic On The Farm. August 6, 2023 at the Earl Farm, Howell, Michigan


Final Amount Raised.....$50,000!!!

$50,000, after expenses, was raised from Magic On The Farm last weekend. This means we are close to having enough money to purchase 2 cows per month and distribute between 900-1,000 pounds of hamburger to our local food pantries every month. How cool is that?!

The Events
There was so much happening at these events on Saturday, August 5th and Sunday, August 6th, it is hard to describe just what happened. Magic, circus performers, a game show, curiosities, art gallery, magic silo, Moogician, Lance Burton, a misty rain, prizes, umbrellas, laughter, camaraderie, great food, good friends, and just plain fun. If you speak to someone who attended, they'll be hard pressed to tell you which part of the event was their favorite. It was just that "magical" of an evening.

​Thank you to so many that allowed this to happen. Our sponsors: Mugg & Bopps, Ted & Jane Von Voightlander Foundation, All Star Trading, Jan and Gus Ritchey, Bank of Ann Arbor, Livingston Key Group- Morgan Stanley, Abovo Visual Communications, and First Impressions Printing. Prize donors: Howell Main Street Winery, Cooper & Binkley Jewelers. Our volunteers: The 3 that keep me out of trouble (Mary Rettenmaier, Mary Heikkenin, and Barb Smith), Rhonda Callahan, Mary Carusi, Ellie Bonanni, Holly Ward-Lamb, Brad Tate and everyone from Agape Church, Tirzah Sirken, Tom Adalpa, Erin MacGregor, Heather Brown, Bill "Silo" Wood, Matt Ikle, Dan Zeppa Photography, and Lindsay Root. Family: Jen, Zoe, Ryan, Ivy, Lincoln, Ruby, Rosemary, and Betty. 


A special thank you to artist, Susan Pominville, for her talent and dedication to this event. Her "MAGIC" painting was spectacular. Her use of the barn as an art gallery was spectacular. Thank you. 
​

A giant thank you to the producer of the show, Tim Wise. He did such an outstanding job with coordinating all of the performers and entertaining us with the Keep It Or Trade It game show. 

And finally, our magicians, Meadow Perry, John LaChance, Todd Charles, Keith West, and of course, the Master Magician, Lance Burton. Lance was so gracious with his time. We can't thank him enough. Thank you.

Art Feeding Families
Susan Pominville donated her original oil painting titled "MAGIC," that was auctioned off and sold at the event on Aug. 6th. However, we had Lance Burton sign a limited-edition set of prints. These prints are 18 x 24 and we only have a few left over from the event. Every penny from the sale of this artwork goes directly to the Earl Farm Foundation.
