FIFTH ANNUAL “SHOP AT WILSON FARM DAY!”

Mark your calendars and get ready for Spring --Wednesday, March 20th is our fifth annual “Shop at Wilson Farm Day!”   Wilson Farm will proudly donate 20% of your total purchase to the Brackett Cricket Yard.
In the past four years we have raised $3,000 from this fundraiser for our Cricket Yard. Just look around at the new benches, cement walkways and trash receptacle from Phase II.
Your support will help us continue the special maintenance required to keep the field groomed year round.
Here is how it works:
  1. Get the official “Shop at Wilson Farm Flyer” (in backpacks on 3/15, on our website or download pdf for your smart phone and show at register.)
  2. Spread the word to your family, friends and neighbors and email the flyer or direct them to our website.
  3. Bring the flyer to Wilson Farm during regular store hours (9 A.M.- 7P.M.) on Wednesday, March 20th.
20% of your total purchase will go directly to the Brackett Cricket Yard- It is that easy!
