The Unveiling of the Barnyard Estates, Who Was at the Party?
Whenever you plan a party, you always hope for the best. You hope you have enough food. If it’s an outdoor party, you hope it doesn’t rain. You hope your guests are able to make it. It’s nerve wracking, not gonna lie. However as a team, we set the date, sent letters, emailed people and followed up with a few phone calls too. As always, not everyone that said they were coming were able to make it. I believe the businesses and individuals we had there at the launch of the Barnyard Estates, and on the zoom call that evening were meant to be.
Walking into the event room at Keller prior to the presentation on September 26th, set me at ease right away. Our Keller friends had everything set up just perfectly, a cheese and sausage tray, snacks, and all the trimmings, in addition displaying every rendering concept of the Barnyard structure on an easel, and my presentation already on the screen. They made it easy for us to add the souvenir “Barnyard Coffee Mugs” and brochures to the ambiance of the evening.
After an explanation of the non-profit, Promote Pulaski we discussed our mission of the Barnyard Estates “to create a space for community, businesses, and families to co-exist together under one roof, based on the idea of the concept of the “family farm”. Board and steering committee members were introduced then I handed the podium to Jeremy Knoll to say a few words about Keller and the project at hand. Side note: words can’t express how appreciative we are of Jeremy and Greg, and the entire team at Keller. Without them believing in our dream, we would not have been there.
The diverse crowd of manufacturing, financial institutions, small business owners, board members, school representatives, community leaders, even a local organic producer of vegetables, pastured eggs, beef and pork, were on hand, which ignited us even further. As I said in my presentation, One of my favorite authors, Dolores Cannon says “you can manifest anything,” she also says it has to be with the best intentions in order for it to happen. If you think about it, she’s right. Just look around you; every building, every car, every invention, every piece of clothing, technology - everything was once a thought, and then manifested through people. The Barnyard Estates is not just a dream. It’s passion. It’s people. Through this community project we are bringing people together. When you do things for the good of the people, it will manifest itself. It will happen, but not just with a thought. It will happen with hard work, time, energy and people. We are prepared to work hard.
During the meeting, we went around the room and asked everyone for their thoughts, questions, and comments. In addition, we had attendees fill out an interest form to give us an idea of what they thought about the project, and how they might be interested in helping.

Overall, the Unveiling of the Barnyard Estates event was a huge success. We’re excited to continue to spread the word, talk with individuals, businesses and organizations that are interested in this community effort of Building the Barn in Pulaski, Wisconsin.
