As always, Slater Creek had an awesome weekend at the Getting Down on the Farm music festival! Thank you Chad Van Gorp for having us back for another year! We parked cars, had our annual breakfast for the band, and had a great time with the fantastic Marion County - IA Sheriff's Office! Did you see us and our horses at the festival? If you got a picture with us, post it and tag us! See you all next year!🤠

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

- Theodore Roosevelt
