After many years of service the old truck at Foothills Equestrian Nature Center (FENCE) has been retired. While bidding the old truck a fond farewell, the staff of FENCE is excited to announce that a new truck has been purchased.
“I am very glad to have a new truck that is reliable and big enough to do any job we need done,” said executive director Carrie Knox. “The four-wheel drive will come in very handy for transporting people and materials around this large property.”
This truck purchase was made possible through the generosity of the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF) based in Tryon. For more information about PCCF call 828-859-5314 or go to www.polkccf.org.
