36th annual Spring Heritage Festival March 15th
Shearing sheep, spinning wool, weaving baskets and blacksmithing! A day in the life of a pioneer homesteader was filled with hard work from sun up to sun down! All work and no play isn’t very much fun though! That’s why the children will have a great time in the children’s activity area. Crafts, activities and games will have your little pioneers working hard at play! Do some shopping and have lunch while you are at the event! Craft venders will be on-site with unique, hand-made arts and crafts and food venders will have festive carnival-style food.

The youngest members of the family can visit The Peek-A-Boo Trail for a completely non-scary adventure. Little ones will be able to explore the decorated area, with non-scary characters around each turn offering treats. The Pumpkin Patch, for toddlers to elementary aged children, is full of non-scary fun and lots of prizes! It includes games such as Boo Bowling, Pumpkin Putting, Digging for Bones and much much more!
