11:00 am to 2:00 pm - Sample the Harvest

12:00 Noon - Sesquicentennial Sign Dedication
Representative Paul Kohls will be on hand for the dedication of my Minnesota Sesquicentennial sign. Following the sign dedication Representative Kohls will speak about his bid for governor of Minnesota . He will take questions from guests.

 

Why am I having a sign dedication? I hosted a Country Festival at my farm on July 27, 2008 as part of the Minnesota Sesquicentennial celebration. The road signs that were on interstates around the state became available after they were taken down. Rep. Kohls was instrumental in helping track down the signs after the Sesquicentennial office closed. This sign is a great memento of the festival I hosted and I want to share it.

Events At the Farm will be cancelled in case of rain, if it snows, its still a go!
Dress for the weather!  All activities will be outside!

Enjoy the Season At the Farm!
