For the past several years, the first Saturday in June has been special for Pegasus Farm and the community that supports them in their mission to maximize the potential of persons with disabilities to become independent, well-rounded, self-confident individuals by providing equine activities along with recreational, social, and vocational support. The Farm opens its gates to families for a day of old-fashioned fun in the country for Pegasus Farm Family Fun Day!
A full day of activities is planned for this event which is a fundraiser benefitting the programs and services of Pegasus Farm. In addition to barn tours, inflatables, pony rides and a petting zoo, the day will feature performances from the Pegasus Farm Vaulting Club, a kids climbing experience from Davey Tree, the Buckeye Corvette Club, and “The Realm of the Reptile “ Show. Food options will include Wholly Frijoles food truck, Don’s Barbecue, and Milk & Honey Ice Cream. More information, including a printable flyer, may be found at our web site http://www.pegasusfarm.org/events/family-fun-day. Pegasus is located at 7490 Edison Street NE, Hartville, just west of the intersection of SR 619 & SR 44.
