Skunk Someone For the Jimmy Fund
Since 1983, Normandy Farms has been raising money for the Jimmy Fund, an organization that helps families affected by cancer. While this year has been different, it's no exception and we are thinking of creative ways to continue to raise money for this important cause.
Our creative recreation team has been busy painting these adorable skunks that you can reserve and our team will put them on someone's site for a day.
We'll place several skunks for $20 and a large sign stating “you’ve been skunked for the Jimmy Fund".
We have raised almost $400,000 and we cannot applaud, or thank you more for that! We hope the 2021 season will be even more successful.

- 7/1 Cruise Night at Patriot Place
- 7/1-7/11 Jurassic Quest Drive Thru at Patriot Place - More than 70 lifelike dinosaurs are ready to return from extinction to delight families and dino fans everywhere, as the Jurassic Quest Drive Thru, the nation’s largest and most realistic dinosaur experience, migrates to Gillette Stadium June 25 through July 11. Jurassic Quest’s herd of roaring and moving animatronic dinosaurs – from the largest predators to playful baby dinos – are displayed in realistic scenes guests will experience from the safety of their own vehicle as they drive through the tour. Jurassic Quest worked in collaboration with leading paleontologists to ensure each dinosaur was painstakingly replicated in every detail, from coloration to teeth size, to textured skin, fur or feathers, drawing on the latest research about how we understand dinosaurs and ancient giants of the sea looked and moved. Although the drive-thru experience means visitors will stay safe inside their vehicles, they’ll still need to avoid the swinging tail of the 50-foot Spinosaurus and the gigantic, grinning Megalodon! https://www.jurassicquest.com/

The Park is equipped with numerous picnic areas, a ski slope, playgrounds, an open field for sports (used most for lacrosse), a sledding hill, and a petting zoo.
