The Back to School Ag Bash was a wonderful success at the Motherhouse Aug. 2! It was our largest event with over 600 visitors. The weather was beautiful for a plethora of activities including a petting zoo, butter making, seed identification, equipment displays, grain sandboxes and much more. We continue to be appreciative of our partners for this event including Marion County Future Farmers of America and 4-H who provided the petting zoo and games for the kids, Marion County High School Beta Club for serving snow cones and working the bounce houses and New Pioneers for hosting bug exploring. The Motherhouse Community was well involved as the Peace Committee facilitated activities, the Living Center did temporary tattoos and the Heritage Center did property tours. Over $1,200 in local produce was given out to attending kids. Numerous local sponsors covered the cost of the event. Thank you to all who attended and supported the event.
