Special Thank You To Bear River Friends

As I write that Title, I think of all the Friends in Bear River who truly deserve a huge THANK YOU! Most of whom will not be mentioned in this Post, but you know who you are! 😉 

You see, this Post is to Thank two people who stepped up when we needed someone to provide positive comments about “Chicken TV at Briden Farm”. 

Recently, when Michael MacDonald, producer for Eastlink Community TV, come out to do an Eastlink Magazine Feature on Briden Farm in April, he asked if we could have a couple locals do a short interview. The first two I asked said Yes! 

So, the two we want to thank, not only for being great friends, and followers of “Chicken TV at Briden Farm “, but also for providing excellent interviews for the Briden Farm Feature, which originally aired 7pm, June 6, 2021, on Eastlink Magazine.Those two are Kelly Foxton, and Jonathan Welch. 

Kelly Foxton, children’s book author & illustrator, wildlife & portrait artist, and owner of Bear Town Pizza,  has worn any hats over the years, including former President of the Bear River Board of Trade

Jonathan Welch, a long-standing Director for the Bear River Board of Trade, and Owner of Sissiboo Coffee Roaster.

Both Jon, and Kelly, are great friends and always ready to help, not only us, but the Community as a whole. For that and their continued service over the years, we thank them.

We also want to take a moment to thanks all our friends and supporters, for all your help and encouragement both now and over the years! We love each and everyone of You!

In the Pasture with Our Nigerian Dwarf Goats

In the Pasture with our Nigerian Dwarf Goats at Briden Farm, overlooking the Head of The Tide in Bear River, Nova Scotia.

Nanna, Momma, and Snow White (Momma’s Daughter), keep us entertained. We often get to see our Goats playing, but seldom get the best play on tape! Today we captured a little, but it’s one reason we invite You to come visit us at Briden Farm, where the Tea is always On and the Coffee is not far behind! We have excellent Tea, made on the Wood Stove, and Coffee from Sissiboo Coffee Roasters here in the Village of Bear River, Nova Scotia.

A UFO Over Bear River

Candles Burning Bright

Perhaps this should be titled, Candles Burning Bright, but last night the people of Bear River, Nova Scotia may have thought they saw A UFO Over Bear River! Especially if they were in the area of Head of the Tide, near Parker Road, or coming down the Hill, from, L’sitkuk, the Bear River First Nation. For there we’re definitely strange lights in the night sky! 

A UFO Over Bear River

These “Lights” certainly may have looked like an unidentified flying object! A UFO Over Bear River! 

Truth be known, it was actually Candles Burning Bright in the Windows at Briden Farm! However, since most people don’t know where Rice Mullen Road is, nor remember there’s a house “up there”, it would certainly appear as A UFO Over Bear River! 

Brian Hurlburt, locally known by many as The Bear River Hobbit, and Denis moved back to Bear River earlier this year when they bought the old Jack Harris place on Rice Mullen Road. They’ve started a small Hobby Farm there, with Nigerian Dwarf Goats and numerous Chickens.

Brian is he one who, twelve years ago, had the Hobbits Hollow gift shop in Chester Colbeck’s old Barber Shop across from the Rebecca Hall, and Sissiboo Coffee Roaster, and become known as the…

Brian & Denis invite visitors to Briden Farm to see their animals and to escape the worries of the world, as they embrace the peacefulness and fun to be found by those who visit Briden Farm in Bear River.
