It finally arrived! The date for our 3rd annual Prairie-fest rolled around and many came to join in the fun!
Hayrides were enjoyed off and on all afternoon and evening
Many enjoyed the prayer walk through Minikin Rill trail while reflecting on our Creator God.
The scavenger hunt was a big hit once again.
The young ones really enjoyed petting and feeding the barnyard animals- especially the new bunny corral!
Several helped with the evening feeding
Grandpa's School of Old Fashioned Tools was a new addition to the fare this year as well.
This year, there were even more pioneer era activities in which to engage oneself!
 |
| Doing laundry the old fashioned way |
 |
| Using the two man crosscut saw requires teamwork! |
 |
| It's a challenge to walk on stilts! |
 |
| Carding wool was a favorite! |
 |
| Trying to capture the pig was quite fun! |
 |
| Using the drop spindle takes some patience and skill! |
 |
| Graces requires just that. . . grace! |
The Straw Bale Maze was in a different location with a different twist!
with an open fire for cooking.
Adult and child size Prairie Bonnets, Straw Hats, and T-shirts were available for purchase at the Peddler Shop along with games of graces, drop spindles, Jacob Sheep wool, baked goods and many more items. Amanda was our friendly face in the Peddler Shop again this year.
