Walk/Run and Farm Event planned at Ramblin Vewe in Gilford on Sept. 30

GILFORD — Ramblin Vewe Farm at 637 Morrill St. in Gilford will be hosting a Farm Event and Walk/Run on Saturday, Sept. 30. You can choose a 3- or 5-mile run at 9 a.m. with beautiful views of the lakes and mountains. The 3-mile run traverses old farm roads and fields with easier terrain on Ramblin Vewe’s 245 acres of conservation land. If you are looking for a challenge, the 5-mile trail run will have fast double track, mixed technical terrain, along with some flowy mountain bike style single track with amazing views.

Start time for the 5-mile race will be at 9 a.m. and the 3-mile race will start shortly after that. Updated race information, course maps and registration can be found at ramblinvewetrailseries.com or Ramblin' Vewe Farm on Facebook.

The Farm Event begins at 11 a.m. with the opportunity to experience and learn about life on a sheep farm, as well as enjoying a walk or hay ride through the farm fields of Ramblin Vewe. Other activities not to be missed are a herding dog demonstration, oxen from the Ox-K Farm in Gilford, Mu the painting pig, Chester and Mini - RVF spring lambs, a visit with Eeyore the friendly donkey, a sheep-shearing demonstration by shepherd Jeff Keyser, wool spinning and needle felting demonstrations in the Shepherd’s Hut with Joyce Keyser, a kids scavenger hunt, and kids games. Music will be provided by Paul Warnick. You may also enjoy food from Wayfarer Coffee, Burrito Me and the Gilford Firefighters Relief Association.
