Sorry to take so long composing this post. It’s been 3 weeks since GOAT Days and we are almost recovered!! This was our 7th year and the most challenging yet but also the absolute BEST!

Great Vendors, Non Profits, Food Trucks, Commerford’s Carnival, Fireworks, The RETURN of the Moonlight 5K, Schlemdogs’s First Annual Hotdog Eating Contest, Joe Buffalo and the awesome entertainment and 3 beautiful days of fantastic weather!

We can’t thank you enough! Special gratitude to the following people, Mayor Pete Bass, The New Milford Police Department, Dan Calhoun and Parks and Rec, Sean Delaney and Water Witch, Shawn Emmons, Tammy Bass, Julia Fernandez, Cara Anderson, Photi Bass, Kevin and Laurie Lane, Colleen Purcell and Scott’s Landscaping, Joe DeGregorio, Jayna and Aaron Larkin, Madi & Fredy, Andrea Dener, Bob Reiling, Cynthia Granada, Chris Cosgrove, Paul Murphy, Roy Waterhouse, Linda Pouder, New Milford Agway, Sysmanski Excavating, PJ Lillis, and every single volunteer who worked the gates, grabbed garbage or helped in any way.

To the people who waited in traffic, made the long walk to the entrances or waited in lines in the hot sun, THANK YOU! What started out as an
Open Farm Day at our home has exceeded all expectations and we appreciate you!

We raised a record $20,000 this year which will be used to partially fund next year’s GOAT Days (definitely a tent to relax and eat under) and will come back to the Community in various donations to local non profits and those in need. We also want to help facilitate the improvement of Young’s Field with bathrooms and better drainage to better serve the people of New Milford.

Again, thank you from the bottoms of our hearts!
Rick and Lisa Agee

Hey friends,
You know GOAT Days is a great time! Did you know that all proceeds go to local charities? (You know, the ones that really struggle.)

If you can give a few hours of your time to hang out at the entrance this weekend and ask attendees for a buck or two we will give you a great T-shirt and our gratitude. Text Lisa at (203) 788-9040 for more info. NM High School credits available too!

Also, time in the Goat Pen!! 🩵🩵

Thanks!
