Step back in time for a family-friendly afternoon celebrating the skills, stories and traditions of rural life. Explore heritage crafts and demonstrations including flax and wool processing, marag tasting, candle making, rug hooking, weaving and more!
Watch as Cash’s Mills makes shingles and cards wool, and stop by the 6 Little Farmers petting zoo to meet some furry friends.
Tap your feet to traditional tunes at a lively céilidh in the
schoolhouse, or enjoy delicious local fare, from a fresh cob of corn at the corn boil to a sweet taste of homemade frozen custard.
A day of tradition, tunes and hands-on fun awaits! Perfect for all ages.
