Buttonwood Farm's Annual Sunflowers for Wishes Fundraiser

Sunflowers for Wishes is an annual fundraiser at Buttonwood Farm in Griswold.  They plant 10 acres with sunflowers and cut 300,000 blooms every summer.  They sell bouquets and give rides through
 the fields. 100% of proceeds benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut.


Where's Waldo?  A well-disguised man carries his bouquets of sunflowers through a field.


This reminds me.  The Boston Celtics have signed Tacko Fall, a 7'7" basketball player from Senegal. 



A tractor pulls kids and parents around the field in cow cars.


Where's Waldo.  A bee hides.


Another tractor pulls a pair of wagons through the field.

I always love how sunflowers in a field turn to face the sun as the day goes by.

This is a great event and not very far from where I once lived in North Stonington. I hope you sampled their ice cream as well.

That is one spectacular event. It must be so much fun to wander through those fields of flowers.
