As Broward Country Property Appraiser Lori Parrish prepares for her weekend fundraiser at her new Southwest Ranches home, she discovered she had a population challenge:
Fifteen more chickens were born on Wednesday.
The new arrivals add to the uniqueness for Broward political contributors fortunate to attend a future Parrish fundraiser.
Most political receptions are thrown in taverns that reek of urbanity. Places where the barkeeps mix oh-so-hip concoctions like Bat Out Of Hell — rum, blue curacao and Red Bull.
Parrish’s fundraisers have real bats!
Her new digs is an arcadian oasis of her lush orchid collection, tropical plants and wildlife in an increasingly wall-to-wall Broward.
The growing family of chickens now has 34 members. There is also a screech owl, two bats and assorted other beasties. She has plans to buy two little goats for her granddaughter Kaylee in the summer.
