It's all about the garlic!
Garlic Golf

Take some time to purchase the perfect head of garlic from one of our vendors and we will show you how to prepare it, (we supply the rubber bands and the golf clubs.) Hole in one wins a great prize!! Proceeds to benefit the Norshaft Lions Park.


Children's Activities
