(Land Between the Lakes) Children’s activities include their own trades fair where they can learn skills like making a clay pot to take home with them, starting their own 1850’s diary, and sewing using a “sewing card.” Kids can explore the farm, play with dolls, “cluck” at chickens, and “oink” at pigs. Adults can do these too! Trades include:
The Homeplace farm family will be demonstrating quilt making, wood working, and repairs around the farm. In the Double Pen House kitchen at 11:00am and 2:00pm, they’ll offer live cooking shows on a wood stove. “Our annual Trades Fair provides a fun activity for all ages. The event also doubles as an open market for talented folk artists, crafts people, and merchant traders to sell their wares to keep these skills and traditions alive and well for generations to come,” explains Cindy Earls, Lead Interpreter at The Homeplace.
