💔 Unfortunately, we’ve made the tough decision to cancel the Rustic Ridge Farm Wellness Fest.
Despite the incredible lineup of presenters, musicians, vendors, and community partners who generously offered their time and talents, ticket sales just didn’t reach the level needed to make this event sustainable. As a charitable nonprofit, the YMCA of Centre County can’t afford to take a financial loss - and we deeply respect the resources they devote to year-round programming that serves our community.
This decision wasn’t made lightly, and I’m truly heartbroken. I know how powerful and joyful this day could have been. But I’m also so grateful—for the energy and enthusiasm that went into planning it, and for the continued care this community shows for one another.
If you were planning to attend or just want to show your support, I invite you to donate directly to the YMCA’s Backpack and Anti-Hunger Programs, which provide meals to children, families, and seniors facing food insecurity right here in Centre County.

If you purchased tickets or paid for a vending space, I will make sure all refunds are processed and sent to you by the end of the week.
Thank you again for being part of this journey. I still believe deeply in the mission behind this work - and I look forward to future opportunities to gather, heal, and grow together.
With gratitude,
Kristin
