Harvest Festival at Donaldson Farms

This weekend we hosted our first event

Harvest Festival at Donaldson Farms 

At Donaldson Farms we celebrated a child's 5th birthday. 

Hosting a kids party at a farm, especially in the fall, was tons of fun. There were corn maze trails, hay wagon rides, pumpkin picking, and a live folk music band to get us all up and dancing.

Welcome to the farm ...

Remember, it's all in the details. 
Hosting any event on a budget can get overwhelming. Simply search around your home to find items you may be able to use for your next party. For our Harvest Festival theme, we searched through our local craft stores, Michael's & the Christmas Tree Shop. For this event we only spent $240 on the table decor, plate settings, AND the dessert which was all handmade - homemade.

 Hope you've all enjoyed our first event. 

We dare you to celebrate!
