First Annual Governor's Easter Egg Roll
April 23 and 24, 2011 the Wigwam hosted the 1st Annual Easter Egg Roll, with special guest Governor Jan Brewer. Modeled after the event in Washington, the event also included many activities for old and young alike, and a special judging of decorated eggs by Governor Brewer. Participants in the festivities were enthusiastic about the celebration of all things springtime, and the word heard most frequently was "awesome." Hickman's Family Farms was pleased to have been a part of what will surely become an Arizona family tradition.
We Welcomed Some Very Special Guests.

Of all the dignitaries I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, the one that impressed my kids the most had blue fur. However, there is no truth to the rumor that Hickman's plans to partner up with Big Bird to open a new farm on Sesame Street. However, we are very proud to be a part of the Good Egg Project, and a sponsor of Sesame Street.
