Holy Carabao Balik Bukid 2013 (Revisited)

Amidst a very hot summer day, We decided to get out of the house and go to Holy Carabao for their Balik Bukid 2013 country fair event.  Though We've here a couple of times before, it's always a joy to go here, not really because of the place but because of their staff who are always more than willing to assist you.  Same as before entrance is free for the Balik Bukid event, however, you’d have to pay Php 300+ to use some of the facilities. Your free to go around the fun farm and visit the different stalls and booths that were set-up.  This years Balik Bukid event, drew a lot more people.  There were also a lot more exhibitors present, so there were a lot more shops to visit and items to choose from.  Nice to see that most of the shops were being attended to by the actual owners, you get to enjoy a little conversation with them and you learn a little something about their business and products that they sell.  Since We’ve been to Holy Carabao’s Fun Farm before, We’ve decided to try activities We’ve never tried before.

Fishing is always popular at the Fun Farm.  There seems to be something magical about fishing using a fishing rod made out of bamboo poles, nylon string and a hook.  They even use live worm bait which they culture themselves.  Don't worry,  their staff will be more than happy to help you with the bait.  After 3 visits and a hundred of tries, this is actual proof that there really are fish swimming in their ponds.

You can ride a row boat and see the ducks swim the pond.  You can either operate the row boat yourself or ask their staff to take you around the pond.

Try their zip line which is much lower and safer for small children.

It was definitely a hot and humid day, was nice to get out of the house and take a breath of fresh air.  Enjoyed the grilled burgers and ice cream. Also bought some herbs to plant and grow in our garden.  Can't wait to see what's new for the next Balik Bukid event...
