Feel free to share! **No Bower's students or staff were present*

Today Raymonds S Bowers Elementary School 1st graders had a field trip to Deep Well Farm. after the wagon ride, the students and teachers entered a building to watch a video and parents weren't allowed inside. While waiting outside myself and many other parents witness a woman, later identified as the OWNER of Deep Well Farm, intentionally HIT AND EMPLOYEE with a golf cart! The employee, trying to brace himself for impact, grabbed the small windshield ripping it off.

The owner then turned and went back towards the front at a high rate of speed considering others were around, especially children. Adults and children were having to get off the path quickly to avoid collision as she wasn't slowing down.

I headed towards the front gates and hollered ahead for an adult to stop her. I approached her, she identified her self as the owner and gave the defense that the employee she hit was speaking badly to her. I didn't hear him say anything other than "I'm done, I quit" before walking away after she hit him. She then said she didn't mean to go that fast. She was terribly rude and loud.

I'm thankful no Bower's students witnessed this but other children did. It was startling enough to witness it as an adult. This is not a safe location for children. She had total disregard for everyone around her. I urge all schools to take this into consideration before planning a trip to Deep Well Farms. There are many wonderful fall attractions like Narramore Farms and Autumn Acres that put the safety of their employees and guests first.

ETA: other witnesses and myself have reported this incident to proper authorities and school administration.
