Local Events (festivals, dinners, fairs and functions)

These festivals and events occur close by and within a 50-mile radius of Rock Eddy Bluff farm.  Many are interesting country diversions that are great for the family.  During the spring, summer and fall, a popular activity is attending the many dinners staged by  Catholic parishes nearby.  You'll experience scrumptious family style dinners, along with games and booths.  Fairs and festivals are always popular.  Local farm auction, rodeos and horseshows are attractive to some folks.  (Keep in mind this list grows as we discover new events to list.)
