Madison County is the ultimate locale for fun events and exciting activities all summer long.

From hanging out with munchkins straight off the set of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," to treasure hunting at one of the largest antique venues in the northeast, to hooting and hollering with the entire family at the Madison County Fair, Canal Fest or Hop Fest, there are events to please even the most hard-to-please. What better way is there to celebrate one of the best seasons - okay, THE best season - in Central New York?!

Golub's Our Farm Total Farm Experience

Our Farm provides an experience for the whole family, right in Cazenovia. Open weekends in October and Columbus Day. Visit the petting zoo, horse rides for kids, take a hay ride and pick your own pumpkin, or wind your way through our amazing corn maze. This year's maze is shaped like "Giant Steps" as an extremely large giant left footprints in our corn field, leaving unequivocal evidence of the existence of a giant who visited Our Farm. Each foot measures about 400 feet long (from toe to heel). His movement appears to be heading south toward Cazenovia Lake! Back by popular demand this year is "BORIS" the giant pumpkin throwing catapult! "BORIS" is a must see! Click here and check out a short clip of him in action.
