Join us for an evening at the Ballpark!

The game starts at 6:35, but join us a little early for Rockford Rivets and Networking
Your $20 registration fee includes a ticket to the game and a meal card. 

Join us as we explore art in nature with hand-made collaborative books from Regin Igloria on hand-built pedestals along our walking trail. Interact with the books through drawing, writing, and investigating other participant's contributions while you enjoy the beautiful natural setting of the Learning Center.

• Meet the artist, Regin Igloria and learn about his work
• Make your very own mini artist's book using up-cycled, recycled and re-purposed materials from around the farm
• Share drinks and refreshments with the community around our lovely fire pit
• Make some s'mores over the fire! (Adult supervision of children will be required.) 
• Support Regin and the Learning Center when you shop selected handmade books and journals in the Farm Store

Troubled by pests, but not sure what to do to get rid of them?  Learn about plants, predators and techniques that can help you maintain your garden without chemical pesticides.

Come cooperate with others to construct a mini eco-village while learning natural building techniques. Use your hands to build model homes using a mixture of clay, sand and straw, called “cob”, then use your imagination to create stories about people in the community. Perfect for kids who love to get dirty, as well as those who love building things.

The Belvidere Chamber of Commerce is excited to host this beautiful race along the Kishwaukee River Path. The race will start and finish in Doty Park downtown Belvidere. Dogs and strollers are welcome. Please be courteous to runners and stay to the side of the path. 
The purpose of this Run/Walk is to provide healthy family fun to the festival weekend. Belvidere Heritage Days is to celebrate the community and the rich history of our area. Proceeds from this race will help keep the festival going for years to come.

There will also be a free kids race at 9:00 AM. It will stay within the park and will be approximately 400-500 meters on the circle path in Doty Park.
