Welcome Walk Phase 1 Complete!
Thank you to all who purchased bricks for Phase 1. As of our August 5th deadline, we sold 80 bricks. We are truly excited that we kicked off the event with such gusto. The bricks will be delivered in October, so that everyone will get to see their bricks at the 65th Anniversary Weekend. Didn’t buy a brick? No worries! We are still taking orders for a spring installation.
“65” Artwork by Greg Nemec
Back by popular demand, artist and illustrator Greg Nemec has returned to create the 65th Anniversary artwork. You may remember him from 1989 to 2012 as the creator of the Appel Farm Arts & Music Festival posters. Keep a look out for anniversary merch that will feature his artwork!
