The Fairview 4-H Club will be operating a concession stand at the Family Fun Day, selling hot dogs, sloppy joes, drinks and candy.
There will be corn mill grinding and hay rides will be going on all day, which will cost $2 a person.
There are pumpkins of various sizes for sale at the Butcher Family Farm, many types of flowers and the Butcher Family Farm produce stand will be open.
Rob expects a large crowd Saturday.
Angie Hissam of Washington, W.Va., said she and her family just moved to the area so they have not attended the Family Fun Day yet. But she has been bringing her children to the Butcher Family Farm to play and plans to visit on Saturday.
Hissam’s son, Gabriel, said his favorite part of the farm is the new slide.
Nicole Carr of Ravenswood said, “I buy my pumpkins from here every year and I have brought my son, Tyler, to the Family Fun Day for the past three years. It is always a blast for us both. I get to take great photos of him playing on the hay bales and he gets to run around and be a kid.”
