Join your Farmcolony neighbors on Sunday, May 26, at 4:00 pm at the garden gazebo for our annual Memorial Day picnic. 

This event has become a wonderful tradition that brings our community together to commemorate not only those who have given the supreme sacrifice while in service to our country, but to remember and express our immense appreciation to those who came before us and contributed so much to the growth of the farm.

The festivities will take place at the gazebo overlooking the community garden area.  Residents built the gazebo in memory of Farmcolony resident Roger Arborgast who passed away in 2007. Beloved by the Farmcolony community, the gazebo still stands as a testament to Roger’s life on the farm.

Brats, beer, soft drinks and water will be provided.  Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.  Grills will be available for your own main course.  In the case of a downpour, the event will be moved to the farmhouse.

The event is being hosted by the Bohn’s and the Haase’s.  Please R.S.V.P. by May 23 to Ann or Irene if you plan to attend.
