Around the Grounds
Group parties and picnics: Nothing is more relaxing than a place where the kids can run and play and the grownups can relax and mingle with plenty of space for a good time. Evening wagon rides or camp fires are available for small additional fees, Picnic tables under the trees are provided.
Adult parties: We welcome parties for adults but they have to be relatively quite, for the neighbors' sake, and they have to wrap up by 10:30-11:00 PM. There is a PA system that will run off your smart phone, iPod, etc. Alcohol is permitted, in moderation of course. Underage drinking is not acceptable.
Birthday parties for kids of all ages: There is a kid sized picnic table for small folks that is long enough for the whole gang at one table. There are larger tables for grownups. A $25.00 booking fee is required to reserve picnic tables and barbeque pits for parties. Birthday parties are held outside on the grass unless there is bad weather, when we move them under the pavilion. We bake birthday cakes, too.
Mud pie events: Nothing is more fun for little kids than making mud pies, and where can they do it without making a mess? We host mud pie parties, complete with fresh mud, water and a place to work with it. When it is over, hose off the kids and go home. We clean up the mess.
Fruit blossom viewing. Apple and peaches bloom during the last weeks of April and early May. Call to see how they are doing and then come out. Nothing beats a walk in the trees during bloom time. There will be bees but they will not bother you, unless you are a flower.
