First Annual Dragonfly Festival Tomorrow in Redwood!

Seeking Partnerships for Upcoming Earth Day Cleanup!

The Annual Redwood Earth Day Cleanup is tentatively slated for Earth Day, Sunday, April 22.

The event is put on by Better Farm in conjunction with the Redwood Neighborhood Association. We're trying to broaden our reach this year, and are looking for other local groups and individuals who would like to team up with us to cover more ground. Sponsors will donate biodegradable garbage bags for the event, and we'll be running an aluminum can collection as fundraiser for the neighborhood association. A potluck picnic lunch will be held during the event at the pavilion in Redwood. This is a great all-ages event, and one that really makes a difference in the appearance of the hamlet.

E-mail info@betterfarm.org or call 482-2536 for more information or to volunteer.

Harvest Festival Tomorrow!

Some version of what could occur at tomorrow's Harvest Festival in Redwood.

Redwood's First Annual Harvest Festival kicks off tomorrow at 9 a.m. with a 5k road race through the hamlet sponsored by Noah's Ark Pre-School. A chicken barbecue fundraiser hosted by the Redwood Historical Society will be held at noon in the Redwood Tavern, while reps from Better Farm and the Redwood Neighborhood Association hand out free pumpkins to children for Jack-o-Lantern carving.

Several local organizations, including Better Farm, will have tables set up at the event. Stop by our booth for brochures, Better Farm T-shirts, betterArts mugs, to sign up for our mailing list, buy some fresh fall produce, and even get your face painted. But be sure to bundle up—it's going to be chilly!
