Fund raising effort announcement! TOOLS FOR BULLDOG TOOLS!

Past VHA president and retired farrier Butch Hockiday of Bulldog farrier tools lost his entire workshop to a fire Sunday morning while he was at church. His farrier tool business is his income. 60 years of tools and equiptment accumulation is gone. Insurance claims are in the works, but there will be a lengthy delay in the clean up of debris, getting a new shop built, wired, and outfitted with equiptment. Any money raised in this effort will be for the purpose of filling this gap in time to pay bills.

For Butch and Connie’s privacy, we have decided not to put their address on Facebook, so the VHA will collect the checks and mail them. If an electronic payment option becomes available directly to Butch and Connie, we will let you know, but for now we’ll do this the old fashioned way. We tagged a few organizations and companies just to get the word out and get the ball rolling.
