Unusual Animal Sanctuary Holding Open House

An Upstate exotic animal sanctuary is opening its doors on May 18th for an Adventure Day Open House.

Safe Haven & Educational Adventures, Inc. is inviting anyone that would like to see and support the animals to come to their open house.

They will be open with free admission between 11 am and 7 pm. To find Safe Haven take 183(Farrs Bridge Road) into Easley (Dacusville) and turn onto Thomas Mill Road beside the Spinx Station. Look for signs from there. Anyone with questions should contact Safe Haven at 864-246-4425 or info@rescueexotics.org.

Safe Haven's Adventure Day will also have opportunities to touch (some of) the animals, food, raffles, silent auctions, games and crafts for the kids.

Mouth-watering barbeque is provided by Swine Em & Dine Em, a barbeque competition team. This is the sanctuary's largest fundraiser of the year to generate support for the animals.
