3,456 Individual Hearts Set in Frames Sent to Cast from #Hearties

Near the end of Season two, Jody Blosser spearheaded another fantastic Hearties initiative, a campaign plea for Season 3. To participate, Hearties everywhere were invited to sign and send 12 – 15 small wooden hearts to Jody. The hearts were then put into frames as gifts for Hallmark, Brian Bird, Michael Landon Jr., Janette Oke, Lori Loughlin, Erin Krakow, Daniel Lissing, Martin Cummins, Kavan J Smith, Pascale Hutton, the Hope Valley Kids, the Hope Valley Crew, and others by Jody and her team of fabulous #Hearties:  Kim Dillon, Cheryl Pruett, Debbie Brooks, and Mayra Blanco.

The fascinating and impressive facts:

3,456 individual hearts were sent in for the frames.

4 countries and 40 US States are represented in the frames.

 

Hearties who couldn’t find or couldn’t afford to purchase wooden hearts were provided Hearts by other big hearted hearties.
