Join us at The Farm at Walnut Creek as a helicopter drops hundreds of eggs from the sky for an exciting twist on the traditional egg hunt!

Each time the eggs are dropped, the children are able to find the eggs in a field and redeem them by color to earn a prize. It is not important how many eggs you find but that you have eggs of all 5 colors. Every child will receive prizes. This event is for children ages 1-11 years old only. Parents of children who are ages 0-3 will be allowed to walk onto the egg drop field to assist their child.

We will have a giant corn box and scavenger hunt. Take a perfect Easter photo of your children holding rabbits and bunnies. Food will be available for purchase. Regular admission for this event will apply. Also, we will be doing horse drawn wagon rides. Regular admission for this event will apply. No need to make reservations. We will open at 8:30am and the first horse drawn wagon will depart from the horse barn at 9:00am.
We will be offering multiple egg drops every hour between 10:00am and 4:00pm. The last drop will be at 4:00pm.

The Farm hosts over 500 animals, comprised of species from six of the seven continents. Our menagerie includes exotic animals such as giraffes, camels, zebras, and kangaroos along with more common animals like horses, llamas, buffalos and deer. Also, all visitors will have the opportunity to view and hand-feed the animals from a conventional car or a horse-drawn wagon. You can also get close to some of the animals in our petting area.

We are a working farm and as such, the type of activities visitors may witness during a visit change with the seasons. Depending on the time of year, you may see plowing, thrashing, canning, quilting and more. You can tour our non-electric farm houses, buy produce at our farm stand, and take pictures of all that you see. The Farm is a fun and educational experience for people of all ages.

Mount Vernon – Modern relationships have never been messier than for
Jake, a novelist who finds more success in his career than his life. The
award-winning Alcove Dinner Theater presents Neil Simon’s comedic
classic “Jake’s Women” .
This wildly comic and sometimes touching play features Jake’s flashbacks
about the women in his life – that are occasionally interrupted by the actual
women!  Jake's women include a revered first wife, Julie, who died years
earlier in a tragic accident; his daughter, Molly, who is recalled as a child
but is now a young woman; his boisterous and bossy sister, Karen; an
opinionated analyst, Edith; his current wife, Maggie, who is contemplating
her future with, or possibly without, Jake; and the newest arrival, Sheila, a
woman who just may be part of Jake's future.
The cast features Bruce Jacklin as Jake; Megan Evans as Maggie; Kathy
Strum as Karen; Megan Campbell as young Molly; Karly Jacklin as older
Molly; Cate Blair-Wilhelm as Edith; Abigail Tayse as Julie; and Jennifer
Walters as Sheila.
Veteran actress and MTVarts board president Susan Moreland directs the
show. She notes that “Jake’s Women” is considered one of Mr. Simon’s
hidden gems and that the cast for this production is proving very talented
at juxtaposing moments of high comedy and high drama.
“The show is both moving and funny, and takes you on an evening of
emotions,” Moreland said.  “I am really proud of this cast and how well
they navigate the moods and nuances of each character.”
Other members of the production team are set construction Joe Bell,
Lighting Designer Ian Ernsberger, and Sound Designer Rodney Cheek,
Costumes are Megan Evans, light and sound operator is Scott Swingle and
the stage manager is Kyle Boucher.
Show dates are April 5,6 and 19,20 and 26,27. Social hour is 6-6:30, Dinner
is 7:00 and the play begins immediately after dinner. The dinner menu has
expanded by adding Atlantic Salmon as an option. For complete menu

Join the Park District as we dig deep for some edible, soil-loving fun! Children and their families will eat-up this delicious activity. Did you know there are over 85 different soil types in Knox County? We will introduce you to the Web Soil Survey where you can view the different layers of soil and engage in discussion on soil’s vital role in sustaining plant and animal life on our planet. Soil is so much more than what’s under the grass. Each layer of earth is defined by its own “horizon”. These horizons run parallel to the ground and serve up distinctive characteristics that aid the layers above and below. When a vertical section of these many horizons is taken, it’s known as a soil profile. Profiling soil isn’t the most exciting activity, but creating an edible representation of all the layers sure can be! Join us for some delicious, edible fun! Please register for the event via our website www.knoxcountyparks.org and click on events tab, scroll down to the fillable registration and follow the directions. The event will be held at the Knox Memorial Building at 112 E High Street, Mount Vernon.
