You are invited to join the International Friendship Connection (IFC) at our 14th annual Farm visit, Hayride and Country Dance on Sunday, September 4, 5pm – 9:30pm.

This event will be an excellent way for you to have fun, meet new friends and experience an Iowa tradition.

Join us for a fun, relaxing time as we ride on hay in wagons pulled by farm tractors, sing songs, and introduce you to some new friends from around the world. Watch the sun set over the Iowa landscape as you travel down the country roads, and enjoy fun on an Iowa farm. Activities include volleyball, raspberry and apple picking, hot dog roasting, trampoline jumping, horse riding for children, and we will teach you new songs and how to country dance! There will also be games and prizes… and we will explain how you can join an International Friendship Connection “Family Group”. You don’t want to miss this special fall semester event!

Cost: FREE

Need a ride? Rides will be provided from two locations: University Village Laundromat at 4:30 PM and the West side of the Memorial Union (Lake Laverne side) at 4:30pm . We will take you to a farm just north of Ames. We will bring you back to these locations at 9:30pm. You can also drive to the farm.

The International Friendship Connection (IFC) is a fellowship of international and American friends who seek to serve and support international students, scholars and their families,  sponsored by Cornerstone Church of Ames. We are continually working hard to makes Ames feel like a “home away from home” for many who are so far away from their own families.

• Do you feel that Ames is not yet your new home?
  Come and join us!
• Are you looking for fun things to do?
  Come and join us!
• Are you seeking to learn about the real purpose of life through knowing God?
  Definitely come and join us!

We have many ways for you to become involved in our IFC “family,” including weekly Family Groups, English Clubs, monthly Fusion gathering, English Conversational Partner program, and special events throughout the year.

We are looking forward to meeting you!
