Jubilee Farm, a 164-acre center for ecology and spirituality sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of Springfield, has rescheduled their Spring Fling event due to impending bad weather. Originally planned for April 30, the event will now be held Sunday, May 15 from 2-6 pm. Spring Fling is a family-centric event featuring the music of local singer songwriter, Tom Irwin. Families are encouraged to bring chairs or blanket as well as their own snacks/picnic to enjoy. The Farm gift shop will be open and there will be fun earth-friendly craft projects for the
kids to enjoy.
“We are very excited to offer “Spring Fling” as a family-friendly way to welcome spring’s arrival,” said Farm Director Sr. Rose Marie Riley, OP. “There will be something for everyone: creative craft projects for the children, the spirit-stirring music of Tom Irwin, opportunity to purchase
healthy seedlings for your garden and, of course, enjoyment of the beauty that is Jubilee Farm.”
Tom Irwin is a sixth-generation Pleasant Plains area resident. He sings original songs withguitar and harmonica about life in the area and in general. “At about 14 years old, I worked withsome friends bucking straw bales at what is now Jubilee Farm,” said Irwin. “I am looking forward
to returning for a different type of work to play music on April 30.”
