Brighton Beans Bales & Bovines Free Fun Day

The Brighton Area Historical Society's last SATURDAY program at the Brighton Beans Bales & Bovines exhibit.

 Play with alpacas from Brighton's  amazing Triple Diamond Alpaca Ranch  2:00 p.m. to 3:00  p.m.    Kathy and Dan can tell you how to invest your money wisely by purchasing your own alpacas without having to  take care of them. 
 Make butter from cream by shaking your can
 Blow smoke out of a bee smoker hole
 Turn corn on the cob into corn flour with two vintage machines.  Just like Jiffy corn mix.... YUM!
 Get info on Livingston County farmers who sell healthy meat, eggs, honey, chicken, hay, wool, concealed weapon classes, fur, raw milk, etc.  Meet local beef & bale farmer Ray Moses.

Come in from the cold, cozy up with free black popcorn from the Vitamin Store, read the crazy things for sale in the "really old" Sears catalogues, watch a short and comical film that teaches how to:

 Cook squirrel & rabbit gourmet dishes
 Spin wool and fur
 Make your own spinning wheel or spindle.
 Knit your wool & fur into fun things.
 The story of Winchesters and repeating rifles
 How to adopt your own honey bees
 How to trim your yard with a scythe

You can also:

Join the Brighton Area Historical Society, Livingston Players, and Brighton Art Guild on the spot.
Purchase the local Historical Society's giant, interesting, photo prolific history book.
