Sunday, October 23, 11 am to 4 pm
Summit, NJ Celebrate the bounty of Fall – golden autumn colors, crisp weather, yummy harvest fare – with family and friends, and goats, at Reeves-Reed Arboretum's eagerly anticipated annual fall festival, CELEBRATE FALL, Sunday, October 23, from 11 am to 4 pm.
The overarching theme for CELEBRATE FALL this year will be the eagerly anticipated return of our herd of eco-goats. Thanks to our friends, Larry and Anne Cihanek from Rhinebeck, NY, our 'green goats' will once again be on hand to clear the Arboretum's historic Daffodil Bowl, as well as provide comic relief with their antics and gentle good natured frolicking. Sponsor a goat at the Arboretum and get your very own Certificate of Good Goatsmanship!
Along with a visit to the goats, the day's fantastic festivities and happy harvest happenings will also include games and crafts, face painting, a costume parade, apple cidering (with RRA Horticulture Director, Marc Montefusco), seasonal cooking demonstrations (with RRA Environmental Educator, Althea Llewellyn), and an outdoor green market. A special added treat this year will a pumpkin carving contest. All pumpkin entries must arrive at the Arboretum by Saturday, October 22 to be considered (please check our website for full details regarding rules and categories). Seasonal snaps by local photographer, Bruce Lorenz, will capture the day's fun and activities for all.
Admission to CELEBRATE FALL is FREE to Reeves-Reed Arboretum members (thanks to ongoing support from Investors Bank). Non-members, $10 per person/ $25 per family, children under 3 free.
CELEBRATE FALL is sponsored, in part, thanks to support from Nexgen Sources, Hall's Garden Center, King's Supermarket, Haven Savings Bank, and BH Security.
