French Prairie Gardens and Family Farm's Fall Harvest Festival
During this 5 week event, people travel from all over to enjoy a day out in the country and have the opportunity to enjoy one of the main attractions - Pigtucky Derby! Hosted by Farmer John and Farmer Eric, they'll have you kicking back and laughing and as their dough-nut trained pigs race around the track.
Kicking off the first weekend, you can join us for our annual Swines, Steins and a Race for the Finish Line, September 24 & 25th. Local brewers will be on hand selling and showing off their favors as teams race in our farm fashioned Harvest Games to win prize money for their local non-profit of choice! Learn more about creating your own team. You can also help by becoming a sponsor.
Then on October 1 & 2 we will be hosting Military Appreciation Weekend. As a way to thank our servicemen and service women this weekend we'll welcoming a special group No Soldier Left Behind!
No Soldier Left Behind is a great non-profit organization helping Veterans find access to services and raise awareness about PTSD. For more information on their cause, visit http://www.no-soldier-left-behind.org/. $2 from every admission this weekend will be donated to No Soldier Left Behind and their cause, so come on out to support our Veterans!
