What is the Hootenanny?
It is a fun-filled fundraising event for Blazing Hope Ranch! Learn about the ranch and its mission and hear about activities of the past year as well as exciting news about our future. Enjoy delicious food, good friends and bask in the the delightful sounds of folk/mountain-style music and help hope "run free" for women who have escaped from commercial sexual exploitation.
Also enjoy additional activities including; Live Artwork Completion & Auction, Silent and Live Auction, TN Bureau of Investigation (TBI) Human Trafficking Unit Update, Ranch Updates & Live Panel Discussion and more!
Your ticket helps cover the cost of the event, while the silent auction and your further financial partnership will help fund the operation of our HOPE Haven transitional living home, Restoration Reigns equestrian mentorship programs and Camp Run Free summer day-camps for kids. Every dollar given above your ticket price enables us to "restore wholeness to female survivors of human trafficking and weaken the sex trade through the power of Christ."

Dinner includes: Appretizer, main course, dessert and beverages. Details to be announced

Featuring Award-Winning Bluegrass Band:
Southern Raised
Southern Raised is a group of award winning kinfolk, trained in classical music but raised in the bluegrass

SR has morphed a progressive sound that spans Christian Country/ Bluegrass, Celtic and Classical. They’re talented, they’re energetic, they’re Southern Raised.

How do you dress for a Hootenanny?
As casually and comfortably as possible! Hootenannies are not stuffy affairs. Come prepared to have a good time with friends and perhaps a little toe-tapping!
The Kids Corral
Bring the whole family! There are indoor and outdoor areas for kids to play in with your permission and supervision, plus we will have a special area underroof supervised by young adults with entertaining activities.
