Who doesn’t love a setting sun on the farm? Join us for a night at Tailwind Acres to kick off our 2024 u-pick flower season. The Cresco Chamber of Commerce will commence the season with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 5:30pm. The u-pick flower fields will be open from 6-8p.m. followed by a good ol’ fashioned barn dance from 8-10p.m. featuring the Western Home String Band.

Throughout the night enjoy a savory treat from Lil Snack Bar, who will be offering their charcuterie boxes. Beer, wine and non-alcoholic drink options will be available for purchase!
