|
| 10:00 | Opening Speech |
| 10:05-12:00 | In varying order, visit farm stations such as: |
| Hayride: Hop onto onto a hay-filled trailer towed by one of our antique tractors for a fun filled ride around the farm. Learn about Joe Wilshire, Oak Glen, and the Riley Family history. | |
| Caramel Apple: Fresh dipped caramel apples make a great snack. Take a break in the 1880's packing shed while you enjoy your fresh dipped snack. | |
| Candle Dipping: Make your own taper-candle to take home with you, learn about the types of waxes used, and be entertained by lore from a time before light-switches. | |
| Farming: "He who does not work will not eat." That is especially true when talking of farming, so let's get plowing! | |
| Cabin Life: Homestead chores were equal parts tough and rewarding, help at the cabin by beating the rugs, running out the laundry line, and sundry other duties. | |
| Animals: Head on over to the animal pens for a bit of feeding and
herding. Animals are very important on a farm, and need lots of special
attention. |
|
| Cider-Pressing: Cider was often the beverage of choice, and after pressing some yourself, you'll see why. When the apples are in season, gather a few bushels and grind them down. | |
| Games: Take a break when the chores are done and play some fun games like Climbing Bear and Hoop and Stick. | |
| ...and More! | |
| 12:00 | Closing Speech and free time for Gift Store and Bakery. |
