The Wait Is Over!


The Cub Club Opens This Saturday at The Windmill! 

There are some grand openings that simply make you smile... and this is definitely one of them.


This Saturday, August 8, something paws-itively adorable is happening at The Windmill Farm & Craft Market. The doors to The Cub Club officially open, inviting children (and let's be honest... plenty of adults too!) to create a brand-new furry best friend and make memories that will last for years.


Located in Building #2, The Cub Club is much more than a place to build a stuffed puppy. It's an experience filled with imagination, laughter, and a few heartwarming traditions along the way.


Every Cub Has a Story


When you visit The Cub Club, you'll enjoy the complete adoption experience:


🐾 Stuff your very own furry friend

❤️ Take part in the special Heart Ceremony and make a promise to your new Cub before placing its heart inside.

📖 Sign the official Cub Club Guest Book

🔔 Ring the Cub Club Adoption Bell to celebrate your new family member

🎒 Take your Cub home in an official Cub Club Cinch Sack


It's the kind of experience children remember long after the day is over—and one that grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and friends will enjoy sharing right alongside them.


Grand Opening Special! 🌟


To celebrate opening day, The Cub Club is offering a fantastic family deal:


Buy ANY Bundle Package and receive the SECOND Bundle Package for HALF PRICE!


The second bundle must be the same package as the first.


It's the perfect opportunity for:


🐶 Brothers and sisters

🐶 Cousins

🐶 Best friends

🐶 Grandparents creating a special day with the grandkids


Whether you choose the Little Cub Package, Best Friend Package, Cub VIP Experience, or the Cub Celebration Package, you'll leave with much more than a stuffed puppy.

You'll leave with a keepsake... a smile... and a memory you'll treasure.


A New Reason to Visit The Windmill


One of the things we love most about The Windmill is discovering merchants who create experiences—not just products.


The Cub Club is exactly that.


It's another wonderful stop that makes a visit to The Windmill even more special for families exploring one of the Finger Lakes' favorite destinations.


So if you're looking for something fun to do this Saturday, gather the kids, the grandkids, or your favorite little adventurers and head over to Building #2.


Who knows... your newest best friend may be waiting for you.
