Looking for the perfect summer escape? PUPS' "Timeless Serenity – A Summer’s Picnic" raffle is offering an unforgettable grand prize: an overnight stay at the historic Ward Estate in Urbana, Ohio. Imagine a peaceful retreat in a stately home surrounded by nature’s beauty—it’s the ultimate getaway!

I had the pleasure of experiencing this hidden gem during a Ladies' Retreat last December. The estate was adorned with a stunning Christmas tree, adding to its serene ambiance. But no matter the season, the tranquility of The Ward Estate remains constant. That’s what inspired the name of this year’s raffle—“Timeless Serenity – A Summer’s Picnic.”

The Ward Estate, built in 1820, sits on five picturesque acres and boasts a rich history. It was even listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974! In 1840, the estate hosted an ox roast for General William Henry Harrison’s presidential campaign. Picture this: twelve 300-foot tables stretched across the lawn, thousands of guests feasting on barbecued beef and lamb, and barrels of cider flowing freely. You can read more about this fascinating history in the latest issue of "PUPS' On a Mission" magazine, featuring an excerpt by Gary Schenkel.

Now, imagine hosting your own picnic on the very grounds where history was made. Whether it’s a family outing, a romantic retreat, or a gathering with friends, the side lawn of The Ward Estate offers the perfect backdrop. In the early morning or evening, you might even spot deer grazing peacefully on the grounds—a true connection with nature.

If this 73-year-old found such joy and relaxation here, just think of the memories you could create! Whether you're young or young at heart, this retreat promises to rejuvenate your spirit.

Tickets for PUPS' "Timeless Serenity – A Summer’s Picnic" raffle are just $10 each, and you can enter as many times as you’d like. Trust me, once you experience the magic of The Ward Estate, you’ll be tempted to extend your stay!

Don’t miss out on this chance to escape to timeless serenity. Enter today and let the adventure begin!
