Easter Egg Hunt,
Saturday, March 27 at 10:30 a.m.
Must Purchase Ticket in Advance
Our annual Easter Egg hunt for the wee ones age 8 and under, on March 27 at 10:30 AM.
The children will be split into four age groups...2 and under, 3 and 4 yr olds, 5 and 6 yr olds, and 7 and 8 yr olds.
We had such a wonderfully o
verwhelming response to last year's hunt that this year we needed to make some adjustments to make sure it stays fun for everyoneand doesn't become overcrowded. Participants must come to the market this year to purchase a ticket for $1 each. If you do not purchase a ticket and bring it with you on the day of the hunt you will not be allowed to participate.
Tickets will be limited to 30 per age group and will be available beginning March 1. As always, we'll have baby farm animals to see, prizes to win and lots of wonderful things in the market. This is our first event of the new year and we love to start off with a bang....come join the fun!
Mother's Day Make 'N Take, Saturday May 8
11:00 to Noon
Music by KJ from 10:00 to 11:00
Bring your lawn chairs and your cameras. There is fun for the whole family, with a wonderful variety of fun songs about farm life. (More about KJ at www.kjsmile.com.)
This is our most popular Make 'N Take craft, so please sign up early (call 766-8811). This class is limited to 20 children. We'll decorate pots and then choose and plant flowers in them. All supplies are included, as well as a snack and a drink for the kids. Wear your grubby farm clothes, bring gloves if you want (but it's more fun to get your hands dirty!). Rain or shine! We'll do the instruction and the messy work with your wee ones, but parents must stay to supervise. Cost is $5.00 per pot. Sign up by email, or call 766-8811. We'll send an email confirmation to your email.
Father's Day Make 'N Take, Saturday, June 19, 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
We're trying something new this year for the dads out there. This class is limited to 20 children, so please sign up early (call 766-8811). We'll be decorating pots, but for dad, we'll fill them with pudding, crushed Oreos, gummy worms, and other lovely little critters--to make an edible flower pot that dad is sure to love! All supplies are included, as well as a snack and drink for each child. Wear your grubby farm clothes, bring gloves if you want (but it's more fun to get your hands dirty!). Rain or shine! We'll do the instruction and the messy work with your wee ones, but parents must stay to supervise. Cost is $5.00 per pot. Sign up by email, or call 766-8811. We'll send an email confirmation to your email.
