Letter to the editor:
On behalf of the Darien Nature Center, I would like to thank every sponsor, volunteer, and attending family who supported our 8th annual Down on the Farm event on Saturday, May 26 in Cherry Lawn Park. Down on the Farm is an enormous undertaking and would not have been possible without the power of volunteerism. Businesses and residents started coming together weeks and even months prior to the big day — a testament to the generosity of our local community. Thank you to Boylan Bottling Company, Two Roads Brewery, and Whole Foods for their sponsorships. Thank you to Almstead Tree & Shrub Care Company for once again hoisting hundreds of children into the treetops for a birds-eye view of the party.
The Darien Nature Center is excited to announce that its 8th annual Down on the Farm event will take place on Saturday, May 26 at Cherry Lawn Park, with an early opening at 9:30 a.m. for special needs families. The event will once again feature a petting zoo and pony rides courtesy of Pied Piper, and Almstead Trees will help kids travel to the treetops to get a bird’s-eye view of Cherry Lawn Park. There will also be construction trucks to climb aboard courtesy of Fox Hill Builders, picnic field games, face painting, patriotic crafts, nature activities, raffle prizes, giveaways, and more! Event-goers of all ages will have a variety of food options to enjoy. New this year, four food trucks will set up shop around the park, including: Cowabunga Grill offering burgers and fries, Dough Girls wood fired pizza, the Melt Mobile offering grilled cheese creations, and Skip’s Ice Cream.
