As Oakland Fox Preserve saw its last cast and run, we ended on a bang. Our family wants to take this time to thank everyone for their support over the last few years and helping us build Oakland into one of the best preserves around. As a family, we were committed to making the preserve a family ran business, but we gained more than that. We met people who became our family and we will have memories to last a lifetime. We pray that each of you have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. Look out for the Hill Family... we will be back in 2012!!!!
Sincerly,
Bert, Nancy, Carolyn and John Hill
