I don't know if any of you have heard about this, but if you have ever been to the Lazy 5 Ranch, they need your help right now!   Click on the website to sign the petition and send a letter to the county commissioners.

This is from an e-mail I received:

 

This is a petition to keep the Lazy 5 Ranch agricultural. Some state and local governmental officials are pushing to remove the land on which the Lazy 5 Ranch resides from agricultural use therefore claiming the Lazy 5 Ranch is not agri-tourism.  If this change were to pass, the NC Department of Revenue would force the Lazy 5 Ranch to collect a 3% tax on the admission cost, plus pay for previous years when tax was not collected.  This change would ultimately lead to the closing of the Lazy 5 Ranch.  Our family at the Lazy 5 Ranch strives to provide an educational facility at a low cost.  We truly believe this tax to be unfair to our visitors.  We sincerely appreciate your support in helping us save our family farm.
