Save the date of June 1 so your family won’t miss Farm Fest 2008 at the Deanna Rose Farmstead. On this one evening, you and the kids can bottle-feed baby goats, bounce in the Moon Walk, bop to the music of the Radio Disney and Dino O’Dell and the Veloci-Rappers, take a hay ride and feast from a kid-friendly buffet, while enjoying all the usual Farmstead activities, such as fishing and visiting the petting zoo.
This is the seventh year for the Farm Fest fundraiser and the second time Operation Breakthrough has been part of the fun. Farm Fest’s founding organizations, the Farmstead and the Jewish Community Center, invited Operation Breakthrough to join them in putting on Farm Fest again this year. The three organizations will receive equal shares of the evening’s proceeds.
“It was a gorgeous evening last year,” says Sister Berta who took her own children, plus Center children to Farm Fest. “The kids had a blast catching fish and digging for treasure. It was so nice just to let them run and to know they were safe and
well-fed, too!”
Tickets are $15 in advance or $10 for groups of 15 or more and are available by clicking here. The price includes the buffet dinner and all activities.
There are many promotional opportunities available for sponsors. Sponsorships range from $500 to $15,000. Major sponsors to date include Garmin, BlueCross BlueShield of Kansas City, Shear Madness, DST Systems, Bank Midwest and Everest.
If you would like information about sponsorships or volunteer opportunities, please contact Farm Fest Co-Chair Sarah Telford at 816-361-9497 or stelford@kc.rr.com.
“The Farm Fest proceeds help us continue caring for homeless children,” Sister Berta says. “We think it’s important that this is one fundraiser that brings our children together with your children. They’ll all have a great time.” |
