The 2016 Young Farmer Summer Outing will formally begin with the preliminary rounds of the 2016 Discussion Meet Contest Friday morning.  Following the Friday Opening Luncheon, participants will have an exciting day at Holiday World & Splashin Safari which is a combination theme park and water park, located in Santa Claus, Indiana. Families will enjoy a fun afternoon and an evening to remember at Holiday World with great food, games, fireworks and full access to the park. For those wishing to leave early, Owensboro hosts “Friday After 5”, which is a summer-long series of free outdoor concerts held every Friday on the river front. The festival includes live bands, family events, food and entertainment and their “Toast to the Sunset.” Everything is located within walking distance of the hotel.

Saturday begins with the “Eggs and Issues” Breakfast featuring our annual policy development session. Following breakfast, participants will be asked to choose between five available tour options. The Young Farmer Summer Outing will conclude Saturday evening with a dinner catered by Moonlight Bar-B-Q. Young farmers will enjoy good food while being entertained by the sound of Kentucky Bluegrass music. Families will also enjoy the adjoining Smothers Park playground which is a one of a kind master piece. The state of the art playground is extra special and kids will think they’re in paradise. Additionally, outing participants will have an opportunity to purchase “Mary Poppins” musical tickets at a reduced price as they register for the Summer Outing. Families will enjoy the plush atmosphere of the RiverPark Center’s Cannon Hall stage as Back Alley Musicals Present “Mary Poppins”- everyone’s favorite nanny. The show will begin at 7:30 PM.
