Campaign launched to rebuild Mystic Mountain barn lost in fire
One month after fire destroyed a barn at Mystic Mountain Training Center, a donation campaign is underway to replace what was lost. Center leadership hopes people will contribute what they can so they can continue their horse program at this summer's annual camp. Jersey Mike's Subs Month of Giving returning this March 'We showed up and there was nothing so it was completely gone,' said Marie Olczak, assistant director of Mystic Mountain Training Center. It was January 26 when an electrical fire ripped through the barn of the Mystic Mountain Training Center in Cambridge Springs. 'It was used for storing 10 horses and hay and all of the tack and equipment that we use for the horse program,' Olczak said. Fortunately, the 10 horses were outside when the fire broke out but their saddles and all their equipment were destroyed. PA senator advocating for open primaries for independents Volunteers built makeshift stalls in the event center and ground has already been broken on a new barn. Insurance is covering the exterior structure but the center is looking for donations to cover the interior contents. 'We need and additional $45,000 over what the insurance company was providing. We've raised about 15 of that so we still have about 30,000 to go,' Olczak said. If donations don't come through, the center won't be able to have the horse program for their annual three-week summer camp.

'If you love the outdoors, care about kids, families, animals at all, we need help,' Olczak went on to say. The center is 100% volunteer-run.
