One of the Okanagan’s most popular spots for school field trips, tour stops and weddings is struggling through the COVID-19 pandemic.
So far in 2020, the ranch has had to cancel 35 school trips along with 27 wedding dates due to COVID-19.
Countless stops by tour busses, as well as summer camps and family fun days, were also canceled to ensure the safety of guests and staff at the ranch.
However, the historical buildings always need work and the ranch’s animals still need food and care.
In an effort to recoup some of the staggering revenue losses and keep the ranch afloat, the “Fill The Steer” fundraising campaign has been launched.
The campaign has a goal of $250,000 and a variety of ways people can support the ranch including visiting the ranch's corn maze, sponsoring an animal or building and many more.
