Agricultural History Farm Park

This was our first year heading to the Harvest Festival at the Farm Park.  Gigi and Pawpaw were in town, so they got to go along with us.  

We got to take a hay ride and hear about the old farm from the old owner's granddaughter.  It was neat to hear a little about her summers here when she was growing up.  



There were lots of fun activities for the kids to do like corn cob doll making, marble making, candle making, cutting flowers to make a bouquet,

collecting eggs from the hen house,

grinding corn for corn meal,

fetching water,


washing clothes, 

wringing them and then hanging them up to dry.  

We took a break to watch some races.

And finished with a quick trip through in and out of the corn maze.
