HARVEST FESTIVAL & ANTIQUE TRACTOR SHOW
October 16-19, 2009

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16
Our celebration begins at 6:00 pm with an old-fashioned bonfire, complete with hotdogs, marshmallows, stories, music and often a visit from Civil War era soldiers on patrol from their nearby camp. Free admission.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17
A full day of activities beginning at 11:00 am. The grounds are filled with the sounds of mountain music and dancing feet. Hit and miss engines, antique tractors and the corn-grinding exhibit provide more excitement. Local artists offer their handmade crafts and foods for sale, often conducting demonstrations of their craft as well.

Eat at one of the Festival’s many food tents, which will offer barbecue, kielbasa, apple dumplings, meatball sandwiches, hamburgers, funnelcakes, hot dogs, fry bread and much more. The Stecoah Valley Center kitchen will again be serving chicken and pork barbecue dinners.

The Country Fair will offer competition and exhibits of jams, jellies, pies, cakes, quilts, needlework and much more.

The outside marketplace will feature a host of vendors offering everything from handcrafted jewelry and woodcrafts to gourds and cheese.

Plan to visit the Civil War Encampment area as well as the antique tractor show. From corn grinding to music and clogging, there’s something for everyone including games for the children. All of this and much more make this Saturday a special day!
