Hog Wild in Haverhill, a collaboration between Kimball Farms and the Amesbury Sports Park, was born during a conversation between the owners of both venues.
They were thinking about doing a small, family friendly country music concert together, but the more they talked about it, the more it turned into more of a country festival.
“We wanted to create a family friendly event that had something for everyone, but also showcased the farm’s animals and country charm”, said Tyler Kimball.
“We’re hoping to see some new faces who maybe haven’t come out and spent a day at the farm before.
We figured we’d have a better chance of getting them here if we brought in some big machines – that’s where the monster trucks came in.” The farm has been owned and operated by the Kimball family since 1820.
“It’s going to be interesting to see those antique tractors back on this land again.
It’s been a while.”
