Come hungry and stop by the concession stand for delicious brats, chili and homemade molasses cookies. Wash it all down with a fall favorite, hot or cold apple cider! Then, sit back and relax on a free horse and wagon ride!

Enjoy a little local history while you wander. Grab a self-guided tour brochure and visit the Farm Museum’s buildings and equipment displays, and don’t miss the Antique Tractor Show, going on all weekend.

Live local entertainment will be held the new barn, where you will find Linda’s now-famous hand-dipped caramel apples for sale too! The fun continues with children’s outdoor games, held on Sunday, Oct. 9th at 1:00 PM, including tug of war, sack races, and relays!

The Fall Fun Fest wraps up with a Giant pumpkin contest judging at 3:00 on Sunday. Anyone may enter so give the Farm Museum’s pumpkin some competition!
