This year a limited number of 2022 Holiday cards went out to the Ruff 100 and some special donors. We are thrilled to introduce you to the artist featured on our card:
Ruff’s own Technical Director Carley Melvin!

Carley is a gifted artist, TD, and carpenter. She’s hard-working, incredibly thorough, patient, and cool in a crisis. (She’s also very very funny during a sound-check. You’ll have to arrive at the park extra early to behold her nightly routine!) A recent graduate of Sheridan College, we are so lucky to be a part of this early stage in Carly’s career, and can’t wait to see where her talent and tenacity take her.
BEHIND THE SCENES – Carley paints each of the cards by hand. In order to make our digital copy of it we took a high-resolution macro photo of the card (ensuring that we picked up on as much of the details and texture as we could) and digitally altered it in canva. You can view and shop more of Carley’s designs HERE.
We’re always keen to add to our Holiday Card mail-out list! If you want to make sure you’re included for the 2023 season you can:
1) Join the Ruff 100 with a monthly donation of $5 or more.
2) Make a $100+ donation in the 2023 season (that’s now if you’re doing some year-end giving!)
OR
