Dear Friends,
With the heat of summer at its peak, sometimes I find it hard to think of the fall and winter months just around the corner. Here at Homestead Heritage we are preparing for our fall festival which is our largest single event of the year. Over 10,000 people travel in from all over the country to share in this celebration of craftsmanship and community life. Each Thanksgiving weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday after Thanksgiving day) we schedule major demonstrations in all areas of our community life, everything from family and children’s music to craft demonstrations by our master craftsmen, horse farming, spinning and weaving, printing, leather working, woodworking and broommaking. We will also be having another fund-raising event when we will have a barn raising scheduled during the first two days of the fair. The historic barn structure will be auctioned off and erected on the successful bidder’s home site. Continue Reading the Fall 2003 Newsletter
