A live DJ providing great music throughout the evening
A barnyard petting zoo
Bounce houses, face painting, and balloon artists — all free and perfect for kids and families
Food trucks will be on site, offering a variety of tasty options for purchase

Bring your family and friends and enjoy a great evening of food, fun and community — and don’t forget to bring canned goods and essential hygiene items to support the Charit-a-Bull Food Drive. All donations benefit the Feed-A-Bull Pantry on campus.
