Join us for Pumpkin Carving and an optional Contest at the Knox Farm, Thursday, October 26th, 3:00-6:00pm! All are welcome!
The Library and the Knox farm are sponsoring a pumpkin carving contest for students! The Library will award a prize for first place. Jack-o-lanterns will be displayed at the entrance of the Library on Thursday night and then can be taken home!
We will supply free pumpkins and knives to use for carving until supplies are gone!
Also, we ask that you bring your old pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns back to the Knox farm after Halloween for the Pumpkin Smash Bash, to be composted on Friday, Nov 3rd.
Please join us at the Knox Farm for Homecoming on Saturday, October 28th 1pm-3pm!
Bring your family to the Knox Farm and learn how to plant garlic, or harvest ginger & turmeric, and/or check out the cool projects that students and faculty have been working on... the amazing art new mural by the high tunnels and the beautiful bee hive in the forest garden! Come learn about our small scale community composting project and other ideas we have in the works!
