CELEBRATE SPRING!
TERHUNE ORCHARDS’ KITE DAY
SAT. & SUN., May 2nd & May 3rd, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For Immediate Release –
            Terhune Orchards invites you to enjoy a weekend of family fun at Kite Day, Saturday, May 2nd and Sunday, May 3rd.
            Spring on the farm is one of the most beautiful and exciting seasons.  All is ready for the bountiful growing season.  Orchards are pruned and in bloom (we hope), fields plowed, crops planted – so let’s celebrate!  Join us for a high-flying, tail-crackling, wind-snapping day of great fun for everyone.  Bring your own kite or choose a ready-made kite from the wide selection in the store.  Or better yet, make a “guaranteed to fly” kite.  Whichever you choose, test fly your kite in our 10-acre pasture with all the farm animals looking on.
            Kite Day is a perfect time to explore the farm during our FREE spring festival. The whole family can tour the orchards and fields while riding in a tractor-drawn farm wagon.  Walk along the farm trail, a one-mile gravel walk, past the big pond, pasture, and across the back meadow and through the pines and woodlands.  There are ponies to ride through the apple orchards.  This year we are building a new barn; come and watch the progress.
            The farm will ring with country music and entertainment all weekend.  The band Spring Street Band will play all our favorites on Saturday afternoon.  On Sunday afternoon, Sailors in Rags will provide the music.  Music each day is from 12 to 4 P.M.  Join Elaine Madigan both days in the barnyard for some fun!  The children will love the games and activities she has planned for them. 
            The sheep will be shorn on Sunday and the children can take home a piece of real fleece.  For all those hungry kite fliers, we’ll have lots of good country food.  The whole family will enjoy Terhune Orchards’ famous apples, cider, donuts, pies, country soup, hot dogs, our own fresh and grilled asparagus and chicken, salads, soup and all kinds of cookies and goodies.
            Join family and friends on Saturday, May 2nd or Sunday, May 3rd, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., to celebrate spring and have some good, old-fashioned farm fun – rain or shine!  Parking at the farm.  No admission charge.
