Heritage Events - July 28, 2012

Heritage Day(s):  A variety of demonstrators set up around the grounds, showing our visitors how their skills were used on the farm - many sell the items they are making. Visitors are invited  to try their hand at several of the activities. Gardens are on display and  Master Gardeners provide educational programming and materials for visitors to take home.  Music is incorporated into the experience by live, local musicians.  Food, drinks, bathrooms, and a shaded Pavilion are also provided.

Arts Council Quilt Show:   The sight of colorful quilts flying through the pastures of the Farm Museum is an experience not soon forgotten.  Area quilters bring their finest efforts for display along with the stories that are part of the quilts. Visitors enjoy the stories and the results of hours of labor that the quilts represent. Prizes are given and many of the quilts are offered for sale. Vendors with fiber related products are available for shoppers as are a variety of fiber demonstrations and activities.  Music and food and other entertainment are available at this event as well.
