Yumnuts Naturals recently supported the 74th Annual Dogwood Festival in historic Greenfield Hill a
rea of Fairfield, CT. The Dogwood Festival is a family-friendly event set against the beautiful backdrop of the pink and white flowering dogwood trees. Yumnuts co-founder Tyler Ricks lives in Greenfield Hill and has been attending the Dogwood Festival for more than 10 years. “It is important to support the local community and the Dogwood Festival is an outstanding event that contributes to local and regional charities. We are glad Yumnuts was able to participate,” said Ricks. The event featured the Juried Craft Show with over 40 New England crafters offering handmade, specialty items. The festival provided crafts, games and other children’s activities. Yumnuts was available at the dinner and Backyard BBQ.
Other highlights of the festival also offered a free concert with the Pitchpipers, a Family Fun Night at Dwight Elementary and the 4th Annual Dogwood Dash. Ricks ran in the race with his son and some of his friends. Ricks explains, “Events like this that encourage a healthy, active lifestyle are a perfect fit for Yumnuts. Nuts are nature’s healthy snack and help provide the fuel for an active lifestyle. For me, starting the day with a run through beautiful Greenfield Hill is . . . 100% Yum”.
