Mingling at Middlebrook!

A COL Benefit for Land Conservation

Janet and Bob Schuttler's Middlebrook Farm proved the perfect setting for COL's Second Annual Benefit on Saturday, September 24, from 5-7 pm. A total of 169 tickets were sold, and the barn was filled to capacity. The cows lined up for a photo shoot, the skies decided to show a little sun, the food and spirits were passed -- it was a great time! We have a lot of people to thank:
