This Year . . . March 2021 A New Day For The Bunny and Brunch Fundraiser The New Day Ranch along with students from the Ryle Key Club and our Kiwanis Club of Boone County's engaged members had a beautiful morning and a perfect setting for our Fundraiser Event on March 27, 2021 at 10:00 AM. The New Day Ranch in Verona, KY, is a working Ranch featuring Horses and other Farm Animals offering Mental therapy for children. We had a visit from the Easter Bunny and kids went on an Easter Egg Hunt. Everyone was able to visit a “petting zoo” and also received Brunch.
