2018 Area Festivals

2018 Area Fall Festivals LINCOLN DAILY NEWS SEPT. 12, 2018 Page 111 In the center of that area, tables were set up where guests who took advantage of the food offerings by Nuthatch Hill BBQ could sit and enjoy their meal. There was also plenty of seating outside for eating lunch, enjoying cider, or just taking a rest while watching the kiddos enjoy the many outdoor activities. Also this year, the patch offered live entertainment. Jeff Cordes and his guitar entertained guests on the north side of the building. Again there was plenty of seating for folks to just sit, relax, and enjoy the show. Another popular feature at the farm is the opportunity to measure yourself. This is an annual event for some families, as kids line up around the giant yard stick on the front porch of the shop so moms and dads can snap pictures. Later, when they would go home, kids and parents could compare the new picture to the one taken last year, and see just how much the kids have grown and changed over the last year. Of course a visit to Gail’s would not be complete without enjoying the animals. The patch offers goats for the kids (children) to enjoy, a pet rabbit, and of course the kittens. Kids rushed to grab up the little fur balls, and the kittens seemed very willing to be held and loved by every child in the barn. Fall Farm Day at Gail’s was certainly a raging success this year, and while the hours of being constantly busy may have been tiring, you could not have found two happier people anywhere on the farm, than Gail and Dave. The pumpkin patch will be open through the end of October. There are tons of pumpkins and gourds available for purchase along with mums, honey, cider, apples grown on the farm, and a huge selection of indoor and outdoor fall decorations, as well as other neat pumpkin related items such as sippy cups, coloring books, and of course, Halloween themed clothing and costumes. ry year the Sasses work to offer new things and make the patch a fun family place to visit throughout the fall season. If you’ve never been to Gail’s, this should be the year, and if you have been, don’t assume that once is enough, because there is always something new for you to see and do!
