LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The arrival of September signals the return of fall festivals, and a Kentucky farm is kicking off the festivities this weekend.
Gallrein Farms in Shelbyville is hosting its Sunflower & Corn Festival this Labor Day weekend and next weekend. The farm grew eight to 10 acres of sunflowers this season.
From Sept. 3-5 and Sept. 10-11, guests can pick sunflowers and participate in various family activities. There will be corn roasting, food trucks and other vendors.
"They're great for picking, for putting on your table or decorating with," Ellen Craig, the farm's market manager and event coordinator, said. "Some of them are bigger than others."
Wristbands for the festival can be purchased for $12 and include activities such as train rides, jump pillows, a slide, pedal carts, barn twisters and a petting zoo.
A single sunflower picked at the farm costs $2, a quart-sized mason jar full of sunflowers will cost $12. Medium tin buckets of the flower will cost $24, and large tin buckets will cost $35.
This is the second year for the festival, which will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays, 12-5 p.m. on Sundays and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Labor Day (Monday).
"It's a great activity to spend with family or friends, I always refer to the sunflowers like sunshine, it just makes you happy and feel good," Craig said.
Gallrein Farms is located at 1029 Vigo Road in Shelbyville, Kentucky.
