Your child is creative. We’ll give them the tools and supplies they need to create something great. And with your help, they will!
At Horst Arts, we’ve created a beautiful space that allows both children and adults to learn and exercise their creativity. When you attend a Funky Junk night, you’re signing yourself up along with your child. This is a time for you to work with and invest in your child. We don’t babysit your child! You and your child will sit at our large 11-foot round scrap-wood table. We’ll supply you with all kinds of materials and tools. Then with a bit of guidance from Katherine of Horst Arts, your child will launch into a time of creative activity that they will remember for a long time—because they did it with you!
When you sign up for a Funky Junk ticket, that single ticket covers you and one child that is five years of age or older. Additional children are not permitted. Please bring only yourself and one child. If you have any questions, please contact Katherine at [email protected] or (717) 419-4025.
Miller Plant Farm is hosting our first Pumpkin Decorating Contest- just in time for Halloween!

What you need to know:
1. Contest entry fee (including the price of the pumpkin) is $10 per child. Pumpkins must be picked up either October 1, October 2, October 3, or October 5. The final day to pick up pumpkins and enroll in the contest is Monday, October 5.
2. Pumpkins must be returned to Miller Plant Farm for display purposes/judging on October 8 and October 9. Sorry, we are unable to accept decorated pumpkins outside of these dates.

We reserve the right to dispose of any pumpkins that begins to rot during the contest period. Pumpkin entry sales are final, it is your responsibility to return them to Miller Plant Farm for judging. Remember, this is a youth contest, so there should be minimal parent help decorating the pumpkin- let the kiddos have fun!
