Come and stroll through fields of Sunflowers and enjoy the

2011 Sunflower Festival promises to be bigger, better and more memorable than
last year!
Sunflowers
 The
highlight of the weekend is sure to be our sunflower field. Enjoy our spectacular views and enjoy a walk or take
pictures of your friends and family enjoying the beauty around them. Cut a bouquet to beautify your own
home as well. Children and adults of all ages will enjoy all the
activities we have to offer.
Corn Maze
Our corn maze will be in a brand new place
this year, and thanks to the hard workers at the UC School Law, the maze
is bigger and better than ever! Learn some corny fun facts, ring the maze
bell, or even be crowned the Corn King! Come be surprised
and entertained with a twisty, turny trip through the corn rows!
Music and Dance Performances
 Enjoy traditional clog
dancers and music from the Appalachian region of our America. On Saturday,
the Country Steps Clog Dancers
will perform traditional clog and Appalachian dance steps and are sure to
entertain all. On Sunday, the Waldrons will perform traditional
Appalachian music ranging through various time periods and styles. These
musicians will have you up and out of your seat and dancing in no time with
their upbeat music!
Kids' Activities
Hey kids .. have you ever searched for a needle in a hay stack? This
year at the Sunflower Festival, kids will have the opportunity to jump in
the hay, and pull out a prize! Paint a pumpkin, rope a steer, play
corn hole and ladder golf. Dig in the soil with antique farm
tools, see our old tractors as always, visit with our friendly animals!
($2.00 additional charge for pumpkin painting)
Pumpkin
Patch
Autumn is the season for pumpkins and here
at the Farm we will have plenty. Feel free to walk through our
pumpkin patch and pick your own pumpkin, just in time for Halloween. We
have pumpkins large and small, and some great photo spots right in the
patch! This year's pumpkin patch is located right near the hayride
stop so you won't have to carry your pumpkins so far!
Hay Rides
Traditional Hay Rides will be given
throughout the Sunflower Festival. Open to all ages, children and
adults alike will love taking a ride to the sunflower fields and pumpkin
patch on one of our hay wagons! Catch the right wagon, and you'll
get a ride from our mules, Jim and George!
Craft
Vendors
 In
a repeat of last year's popular offering, we've invited craft vendors to participate in our Sunflower Festival!
Browse our craft fair ... start your holiday shopping early and
support these local artisans!
Pumpkin Slingshot
Test your arm (and your aim!) with our new
Pumpkin Slingshot! Newly designed and built by our friends at GE
Aviation in Evendale, this baby is wound up and ready for action! The
pumpkin slingshot is safe for kids of all ages, so come and give it a try!
($2.00 additional charge for pumpkin shooting.)
