Living History Farms to Party With Members, Donors and Volunteers

From the Living History Farms website:

Living History Farms members, donors and volunteers will be honored from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 4, as the season kicks off with a free pie social in the spring air of the picnic shelter.

Top your pie with homemade ice cream, and watch as cream is churned with a belt-driven 1945 John Deere tractor engine.

Tap your toes to music by C.W. Hobbs Flatland String Band and join in a sing-a-long with the Walnut Hill Choral Society in the Schoolhouse.

Enjoy lawn games, children’s crafts, hands-on activities, and a special meet and greet with our new 1900 horse team, Sam and King. Don’t forget to visit the Marketplace before heading home for the day to receive a special thank you gift.
