BETH SIMONSON
This year marks the second annual festival. Attendees will be able to respectfully explore the edges of designated Hyde County sunflower fields and participate in sunflower-related activities at the event. Along with sunflowers, hayrack rides, live music, local food trucks, retail and art vendors, arts and crafts, a kids talent show, and more will define the festival, Simonson adds. Highmore’s South Park has a brand new swimming pool where folks will be able to swim if they’d like. “The first year I think the community realized, ‘Oh, sunflowers can be kind of a big deal for us,’” said Simonson. “We had people from all over the country come see the sunflowers.”
-Beth Simonson “I LOVE GOING OUT TO THE FIELDS AT SUNSET AND SEEING THEM. IF YOU GET THE RIGHT LIGHTING, THE RIGHT CLOUDS, THE SUNSET WITH THE SUNFLOWERS IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND MY FAVORITE PART.”
