The Third Annual Egg Roll at McCoy Farm & Gardens is set for Sunday, April 13, from 1-4 p.m.
An egg roll, of course, needs eggs to roll. MFG's collectible souvenir wooden eggs feature a vintage bunny design. They make very special keepsakes, since they are dated in celebration of McCoy’s third egg roll. Made at a family business located in Buckfield, Maine, the McCoy eggs are created by Wells Wood Turning, the craftsmen who make the eggs for the White House Easter festivities.
Each commemorative hardwood egg comes with an activities punch-card and is $10. The price includes opportunities to join in an egg roll contest and a spoon obstacle course, both of which require an egg to participate. Those who join in the games, and have their cards punched as they play, will receive prizes.
The Easter Bunny will greet kids of all ages and pose for pictures. Lemonade, cotton candy, and kettle corn will be for sale. Enjoy other activities such as face painting, hair painting, and a kite-flying demonstration. In the dining room, spring-themed vintage china and accessories will be set up for your silent auction bids.
Organizing and leading all the fun activities are special events co-chairs Mary Catherine O’Kelley and Annette Wildman and board member Anne Leonard. For more information, please contact the office at (423) 598-1658.
Just for Fun
McCoy Farm & Gardens is known to welcome well-mannered dogs on leashes. Beginning at 2:30 p.m., the McCoy Mutts Easter Parade will again highlight leashed, well-behaved dogs as they stroll the driveway dressed in their best finery. This is a “non-judgmental” parade, meaning the mutts will not be judged for their appearance or costume, but will be appreciated for their flair and aplomb.
Bring your dog in costume and meet at the Carriage House at 2:20 p.m. The Mutt Parade will proceed along the driveway where everyone can celebrate the participants as they pass.
The Bachman McCoy House will be open from 1-4 p.m., and docents will be on hand to answer your questions about the history of the property. McCoy branded merchandise, Emma Bell Miles art related items, and natural-bark bluebird houses crafted by Terry Knox will be for sale. The birdhouses with poles for mounting are made from tulip poplars thinned from the poplar grove. All proceeds are used to support McCoy facilities and programming.
