The 5th Annual Scarecrow Festival hosted by The Christopher Farm & Gardens and YMCA Camp Y-Koda is approaching.

This years for the festival, we will be providing the following family-friendly activities: Train Rides, Storytimes, Face Painting, Crafts, Fishing and many s'more activities! General Admission tickets will be available for sale in late August 2024. 

We are seeking sponsors, volunteers and scarecrow contest entries.
