Country Fair September 26, 2010

As the fall harvest approaches, Carriage Hill MetroPark's historical farm celebrates the tradition of an 1880's country fair. From agricultural demonstrations to a pie-baking competition, all the sights and sounds of a country fair will be recreated. See various living history talks and demonstrations given to present a picture of our past. Also, watch the sorghum press squeeze the sweet juice from the stalks. The steam from the steam engine boils the juice into sorghum molasses. Get all the details at www.metroparks.org/CountryFair.
