The annual festival will feature demonstrations of turn-of-the-century skills
that were typical on a farm of that era including blacksmithing, log hewing &
using hand tools and techniques for debarking logs and squaring timbers, butter churning, soap making,
quilting & much more. Antique tractors, Auto, & "hit & miss" engines will be on
display. Old-time children's games including
checkers, sack races & egg
toss. Food vendors & concessions available. Live music all day featuring C & J Bluegrass Band
from Mebane, playing bluegrass and gospel. Come out & enjoy
this fun, family-friendly event.
Yes, Checkers and Beekeeping will be there!
We will be the first two exhibits you will see as you pass through the main
entrance. We are set up on the right side beside each other. We will have our
2014 NC State Open Checker Tournament banner on display and the
checker players' tent set up beside the Alamance Co. Beekeepers. There should be
plenty of tables, chairs, boards, and checkers so by-passers can pick up a game!
or try their luck at playing a state champion!
