The Summer Carnival is one of highlights of a summer at The Art Farm. This year’s carnival will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Friday August 20th, the last day of camp.

All of the proceeds from the carnival benefit Mari’s Children. We invite all of our Art Farm clients as well as children and families in the community to join the fun as well as help children around the world.

At the carnival, you and your children can enjoy pony rides, a petting zoo, hay rides, an art tent, exotic animal show, clowns, face painters, giant slides, train rides, bungee jumping, carnival games and more. Our food tent offers a great selection of foods donated by area restaurants.

Mari founded her not-for-profit organization Mari’s Children in 2004. This completely volunteer organization currently sponsors children in Thailand affected by HIV/AIDS to attend school, helps children in South Africa, and sponsors children locally to attend camp. Mari personally sponsors her trips to visit every project to make sure that all of the money raised goes directly to the children. Mari’s Children is a completely volunteer not-for-profit organization.

We offer sponsorship opportunities for businesses sponsor the various rides and entertainment at the carnival. Please let us know if may be interested in becoming a sponsor.
