Center Street Harvest Hoedown!

Field + Form and the Center Street Business Collective are excited to announce the Center Street Harvest Hoedown, a lively fall celebration bringing together local residents, artists, and businesses to benefit the Equine Healing Collaborative.

The Harvest Hoedown will offer a fun-filled day of community-centered activities, including:

- A festive pumpkin patch

- Visits with mini-horses from the Equine Healing Collaborative - Local artist vendors and gallery tours

- Live bluegrass music from Wayward Jerry

- A children’s costume parade with trick-or-treating

Field + Form is partnering with the Equine Healing Collaborative, a nonprofit dedicated to providing equine-assisted therapy for emotional healing and recovery. Proceeds from the event will support this important cause, helping to fund the Collaborative’s mental health programs.

Guests will also have an opportunity to enter a raffle and win local prizes. Whether in the market for a Halloween pumpkin or an opportunity to support an important cause in a community setting, this event offers something for everyone in celebration of fall.
