BunFest Rainbow Bridge
Those of us who love animals have all experienced the sense of grief and loss when one of our beloved bunny friends dies. Midwest BunFest and the Ohio House Rabbit Rescue will , once again, have the memorial wall at this years event, where those who wish to, may purchase a wooden bunny ornament in memory of a pet who has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
We believe that the best memorial we can offer to our departed friends is to extend our love and compassion to those bunnies still here on earth , who need homes, love and proper care. In this spirit we offer this Rainbow Bridge Memorial Wall at Midwest BunFest.
A wall size painting will be prominently displayed on the main conference floor, where you may attach your memorial ornament for display. All proceeds from the sale of the ornaments will go to the care and feeding of rescue bunnies at the Ohio House Rabbit Rescue Adoption Center.
At the conclusion of Midwest BunFest, the wall will be relocated and prominently displayed at the Ohio House Rabbit Rescue Adoption Center for the rest of the year. Those who wish to leave their bunny ornament with the wall will have it moved at that time and displayed at the center. Those that want to take their ornament home can pick it up at the end of the day.

The Rainbow Bridge
inspired by a Norse legend
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
