Virginia is for Horse Lovers! So where better than to own a horse/hobby farm – especially one you can own for a 1,000- word essay and an entry fee of $200? The 35-acre Rock Spring Farm will become the property of an essayist who can convince a panel of judges – educators, horse enthusiasts, and hobby farmers – he or she loves animals and wants to live in rural Essex County. The Rock Spring Farm Essay Contest will end Oct. 1, 2015; all entries must be received by Oct. 17, 2015. Entries received after that date will be returned. The new owner will be announced on or before Nov. 26, 2015.To learn more, scroll through the articles posted in this blog, or visit the Rock Spring Farm Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/virginiahorsefarm To download the entry form, contest rules, and FAQs, visit: http://bit.ly/1ERoUJj
