This week...
Music will be provided by Ricky Andrew. Make sure you check him out this Sunday!
Special Fathers Day giveaways will be available on the hour, every hour! Also, bring your father to get a free massage!
Each Sunday, the Childrens Tent has new produce to make painting prints with! Stop by with your kids to paint or color. And for teens, there will be Ping Pong tournaments with great prizes! Sign up at the Information Tent to get involved!
There will even be a sprinkler set up for kids when the temperature reaches over 90 degrees!
Also, we'll be taking up a special collection for needy people in our community. This season, we're asking you to donate $25 or less to a special fund so that needy people can double their food stamps to get fresh produce. We'll be taking up the collection at the Information Tent. Another way to get involved would be to attend our Progressive Dinner! See link above for more details.
And be sure to keep up with the OFAM Blog, which has a handy link on our website!
