Gathering Details
The Knutson's and Dunn's are opening the property up for a relaxed evening on the farm with friends, family, and neighbors. Bring your own food, drinks, chairs, blankets, and whatever makes the night comfortable.
We did this several years ago and had a wonderful time. With our country’s 250th birthday coming up, it felt fitting to give it another go.
A few extra guests are welcome within reason, but please check with us before extending the invitation further so we can plan well for parking, snacks, and the overall size of the gathering. Please check this page before heading out in case weather forces a delay or any details change.
FAQ
We’ll add to this as questions come in. If you have another question, please include it with your RSVP.
Can I invite other family members or friends?
A few within reason is fine. If it’s going to be a larger group, please check with us first. Please do not post this invitation on social media. These are personal invitations and we want to keep the gathering manageable.
Will bathrooms be available?
Yes. Bathrooms will be available in the homes.
Will food be served?
Snacks, cookies, and similar things will likely be out. We encourage you to bring your own food, drinks, and cooler.
Can we come early to set up chairs or blankets?
Yes, that’s fine. You’re welcome to save a spot earlier in the evening, but please stay clear of any areas where setup or fireworks preparation is still happening.
Is the viewing area wheelchair accessible?
The property is grassy and uneven in places, so access may be a little difficult. There should be options, though — please reach out through the RSVP form if accessibility is a concern and we’ll do our best to help.
What should we bring?
Chairs, blankets, drinks, snacks, bug spray, and anything else that will make the evening comfortable.
Where should we park?
Please follow the farm map above and use the marked parking areas. Tap or click the map to open a larger version.
What happens if the weather does not cooperate?
Any weather-related delay, reschedule, or other change will be posted on this page. Please check back before heading out.
Are kids welcome?
Yes, absolutely. Please keep an eye on children around parking areas, fields, and any fireworks preparation areas.
Can we bring pets?
We’d generally discourage pets because of the fireworks, cars, and crowd. There will be a couple of dogs on site. Please check with us first if you intend to bring a pet.
Can we bring alcohol?
Yes, that’s fine. Please just be mindful of neighbors and others around you.
Will there be seating?
Please bring your own chairs or blankets. No additional seating will be provided.
