With fond memories of participating in Volksmarsches in Germany, the owners of Shortsville Reindeer Farm bring this fun tradition to the farm! German Volksmarches are organized, non-competitive walks through fields and forests, typically 5 km long (about 3 miles), ending in a picnic-type atmosphere with drinks and grilled German meats.
This Volksmarsch is a fundraiser for the Friends of the Red Jacket Community Library.
The walk begins at 10am at the barn. (You can start later, just finish by 2 pm!) You can choose from a 5 km or a 1 mile path. Both take you on a lovely stroll around the outside of the reindeer pasture, through fields and forests, and back to barn.
The Krazy Firemen band will provide live German oom-pah music from 11am to 2pm.
LOCALLY SOURCED grilled bratwurst with mustard and brotchen, pretzels, and beer from our local brewery will be available for purchase. One free bratwurst is included in the price of admission. Bring your own water bottle for free water.
Though the reindeer will be visible, guests will not have the ability to interact with the reindeer at this event. Hanggi Farms’ adorable beverage burros will be wandering around serving non-alcoholic beverages.
For your $20 registration fee you receive:
-The opportunity to stroll 5km (or 1 mile) through forests, orchards, and fields
-One free bratwurst with locally-made mustard at the end of the walk
-Opportunity to purchase additional bratwurst, beer, and beverages
-3 hours of entertainment by the wonderful Krazy Firemen band
The walking route is NOT handicap or stroller accessible. The picnic area at the barn is. The porta-potty is ADA accessible.
This event is LGBTQ+ friendly.
