Old Time Music - Sing along to the banjo and ukelele, listen to the fiddler and barbershop quartet or sit back and enjoy some jazz.
Pony Rides - Travel old fashioned style on a pony.
Pie contest - Bake your favourite recipe and see if it can stand up to our discriminating judge. Prizes awarded for the top 3 entries.
Artisan Displays - See old time craftmanship with our wood turners, yarn doll maker, quilter, and weaver.
