Kinder Farm Park’s 25th Anniversary Celebrated In Poster By Arnold Artist

Posted

Although a celebration planned for earlier this year had to be canceled due to weather, Kinder Farm Park’s 25th anniversary was recognized last month in the form of a commemorative poster made available at the park’s annual fall festival.

Designed by local artist Joe Barsin, a resident of Arnold, the 18-by-24-inch poster features a one-of-a-kind illustration of all that the beloved park has to offer: farm animals, athletic facilities, a playground, barn, farmhouse and more, all tied together by the iconic windmill.

Barsin, who teaches gaming and simulation at Anne Arundel County Public Schools’ Center of Applied Technology South, shared that he has designed commemorative posters for other county parks including Quiet Waters Park and Downs Park, but the opportunity to create artwork for Kinder Farm Park was uniquely special.

“I love Kinder Farm Park … I’ve been to all of (the county parks) with my kids, but this one is specifically the closest to my heart,” he said. Barsin explained that he spent many days at Kinder Farm Park with his two sons, who are now in their 20s, at the playground, meeting the farm animals, and playing sports.

“It’s been a joy to be a part of the park system because it’s been such a big part of our life,” he added.

Signed ($25) and unsigned ($10) copies of the poster can be purchased at Kinder Farm’s pop-up hayride on November 16, at its Jingle Bell Hayride on December 7, or by emailing contact@kinderfarmpark.org.
