what a fun evening. a group of "guy" friends in stirling organize an annual barn party each year that falls in line with fathers day. they refer to themselves as the "barntenders". one of the barntenders owns the barn, which was handed down through his family... while the other guys are friends and neighbours. they meet each wednesday night to drink beer, plan, strategize, improve and make plans for "the barn". their wives love the fact that the "barntenders" rely solely on themselves to run these events. and they even take care of the cleanup.
they have equipped the barn with all of the party essentials that you can think of ... and them some. there is a movie screen and projector, tv's, ball hockey table, popcorn machine, outhouse, soundsystem, ps3, pop machine, vintage pop cooler, fully stocked bar and fridge.... i could go on and on.

they kicked of the party with tractor/hayrides around the farm property. it was a beautiful evening and the kids loved this. then they showed the movie "up" on the big screen. the kids gathered on hay bails, blankets and even the bare barn floor and enjoyed the movie while sipping free pop and freshly popped pop corn. alot of the older kids were in and out of the barn during the movie... playing hide and go seek in the fields of long grass and hay.
after the movie, the barntenders gathered the kids together and brought out the treasure box.... which was full of novelties for the kids. keaton walked away with a couple of water guns, ben and anna pearl chose a candy necklace and adison scored a whoopie cushion. before we left, the barntenders also set up the ps3 for a game of rockband on the big screen. this was a very cool ending to a very cool night. thanks to dan, trevor, greg and all the rest of the barntenders for a great evening. we can't wait 'til we can do it all again next year!
