Homer Harvest Days: September 9 11am-6pm & September 10 11am-5pm. Historic Trantina Farm 15744 W. 151st Street, in Homer Township, minutes from I-355 & 159th St, east of Gougar Rd. Homer Harvest Days is a free event that celebrates the rural, agricultural, and historical heritage of our country when history comes alive with demonstrations of farm activities and old-time handmade items, old-fashioned entertainment, live animal exhibits, pony rides, antique tractors, hayrides, food, children’s activities, vendors, live music, and other amusements and diversions from a simpler and more rural era. Free Activities, & Free Parking.

Our committee is seeking individuals, groups, and organizations who will share their knowledge as living history reenactors. Our Committee also welcomes people who can demonstrate farm activities and the day-to-day skills of rural life that have been lost to modern technology. Some examples of these many skills are butter churning, tin punching, spinning, woodworking and broom making.

If you or your organization has a skill or activity that would be appropriate for this event, we hope you will consider participating.
