Ways to take part

Make room for a little mischief.

Black Mountain Holiday Harvest is built around simple invitations: play awhile, put your hands in the soil, and see how far a single seed can travel.

Giant Pumpkin Contest

The Speakeasy Giant Pumpkin Contest is a selective growing challenge for 4-H and FFA chapters across southeastern Colorado, with elite seeds chosen for life on the high plains.

For grown-ups too

A good fit for field trips, homeschool days, and screen-time that leads somewhere.

Every activity is designed to make a young person feel capable: observe a detail, try a thing, ask a better question. That’s a pretty good day at any age.
