Heritage Farm Festival

A few weeks ago we went to a local Farm Festival.  The focus was to preserve the heritage of the farmers around our area.  Lots of people bring their tractors for the tractor parade!

The girls loved this pink tractor!  In the background there is a steam-engine-runned saw that was sawing huge trees for demonstration.

We bought some Butternut Squash (which I’ll make into soup soon.)  In the background there is a thresher demonstrating separating the wheat kernals from the stalk.

And we picked up this pretty home-made bench.

We also saw people doing blacksmithing, sewing with a treadle machine, and tatting.  I had never seen tatting before.  My daughter wants to learn how to do it now!

(See what Tatting is here.)
