June 15th Saturday Night Sit-Down

Can’t wait for Tomten's 10th Anniversary Celebration? Neither can we!

This special Saturday evening get-together is just for you. Here's your chance to be a part of our 10th Anniversary Weekend and meet, greet and hang out with the hardworking women of Tomten Farm and Sanctuary.

Join us at Wooliam’s Welcome Center and be part of Tomten like never before. You’ll enjoy a fun-filled evening of companionship and conversation with us and maybe even make some new friends too – other supporters who believe in the magic of Tomten and have been a part of this incredible journey of peace, protection and possibility. You'll enjoy complimentary snacks, drinks, prizes and more. And, there's a rumor that if the weather accommodates, there might even be a fire pit for roasting some vegan s’mores. Wohoo!

This friendly get-together will be from 4:30 to 6:00 pm and offer you an opportunity to connect with the behind-the-scenes people who have toiled, all-volunteer to make Tomten Farm and Sanctuary the incredible animal haven that it is today. Have questions for us? We love that. Bring them all! We look forward to answering them without the rush of a Tomten Tour and chances are, if there are things you wish to know, other guests will want to know them too.

As always, advanced registration for all events is required, so please note the very important information in the details section below before registering for the Saturday Night Sit-Down.

Details:

Please read carefully as we have a few important details to share so everyone (humans and animals alike) can enjoy a wonderful time.

Our 10th Anniversary weekend is a celebration of YOU, the folks who have helped achieve this incredible milestone. Due to space limitations and animal welfare, tickets are limited to you and one guest per person. Should you have any questions or need to bring someone else, please reach out to us. We wish we could welcome everyone. Don't worry, if you would like to introduce the magic of Tomten to friends and family, we have several additional tours scheduled for this year.

Gates open 15 minutes prior to the Saturday Night Sit-Down for check-in (4:15 pm).

Our address is 929 Court Street, Haverhill, NH. Should you arrive early, please wait in your vehicles along the road until the gates open to allow parking at the big red barn.

It is going to be a fabulous time but we kindly ask that you remember to plan your schedule accordingly. This is a weekend of many events with over 100 guests between the days. So everything can run smoothly, we regret that no early birds, late arrivals or unexpected drop-ins are allowed as it detracts from the experience of others. Please note that we do lock all gates once events have begun.

Don't forget the weather can shift quite a bit up here, especially at this time of year. The average temperature in June runs between 53 and 73 so it could sway in any direction or surprise us. We encourage everyone to be prepared as our forecasts can change by the minute.

Saturday Night Sit-Down is a relaxing event at Wooliam's Welcome Center and not a tour of the farm. Bring your passion for animals, your love of Tomten, your enthusiasm and lots of questions, as well as a signed Tomten release (simply copy and print from the confirmation email you'll receive after registration) and a photo id. We cannot admit anyone without a release and photo identification - no exceptions, so please don't forget.

Please note depending on the questions we are presented with, we transparently discuss why we rescue and the fates our Rescues faced. While we love children, we kindly remind parents that the answers are formed with adults in mind. Should you wish to bring a child under the age of 10, we encourage you to reach out to chat first and ask that there is one adult per child at all times for supervision purposes. We appreciate your understanding and commitment to making sure the Saturday Night Sit-Down is enjoyable for all.

Of course, this is our 10th Anniversary Weekend, and we hope you'll also be a part of a Morning Meditation Walk and/or a Tour and enjoy some time with the Rescues.

Hoping to participate in both? Fabulous. There are multiple choices.

Registration information for the June 15th Saturday Morning Meditation Walk can be found right here.

Registration information for the June 16th Sunday Morning Meditation Walk can be found right here. This 7:15-8:45 am silent walk through the farm is an opportunity to wake with the animals, grab your calm and your camera and experience a one-of-a-kind morning event.

Registration information for the 5-hour June 15th Saturday Tomten Tour Immersion Experience can be found right here. Looking for a longer tour at a slower pace? This extended tour offers participants an additional 2-hours to fully immerse themselves in the magic of Tomten.

Registration information for the June 16th Sunday Traditional Tomten Tour can be found right here. Our traditional tour is a bit shorter and a bit faster than our Immersion Tour but still allows participants to experience the entirety of Tomten Farm.

In between events, you are welcome to relax in Wooliam’s Welcome Center, participate in the bucket drawings, shop our merchandise, read our wishing wall and otherwise hang out in the embrace of peace, protection and possibility until the next event.

We so look forward to welcoming you and thank you for your continued support and understanding as we do our best to accommodate as many event participants as possible during this one-of-a-kind weekend.

Thank you for being on our journey as together we leap into our second decade of making dreams come true for animals in need.

⁃ Jen, Laima, Michele, Julia, Lynn, Judy and all the Rescues who call Tomten home.
