| A gathering of friends and family
took place in Montpelier on September 1, 2007, to pay tribute to
the lives and accomplishments of Wayne and Elizabeth Sarcka.
This date marks the 75th anniversary of Spring Lake Ranch which
they founded on a mountaintop in Cuttingsville in 1932.
Spring Lake Ranch became a working farm and retreat for adults
17 and older who experience emotional, psychiatric and addiction
illnesses. Work duties occupy five hours per day, five days per
week, and include forestry, maple sugaring, haying, gardening and
a summer farm stand.
The Sarckas discovered the property while on their honeymoon.
