The
Agricultural History Project is hosting the Annual Day On The Farm to celebrate
the history of good old-fashioned farming on Saturday, May 10 at 10:00 am – 3:00

year old are free. Donations are also appreciated.

This year
the 4-H Fair will be at Day on the Farm.
The 4-H will have a poultry show, exhibits, a dessert silent auction and
more. And when you get hungry, you can
purchase something delicious from their luncheon menu.
Children
and adults will be able to grind corn, pump water, churn butter, make ice
cream, watch horseshoeing, play old-fashioned games with stilts and hoops,
chalk drawing, and all the other activities we will have available! We’ll also have our special tractor driving
for both kids and grownups.

The tractor
rodeo will be at 1:00 pm with trophies and ribbons! And a team of Clydesdale draft horses will be
giving hayrides between 11:00 am and 2 pm.
From 2pm – 3pm some lucky attendees will be able to drive the horses
around the Gazebo with experienced teamsters assisting.
In addition
to the horses, you will also be able to see rabbits, lambs, goats, chickens,
and alpacas from Rock Star Alpacas.

here in Pajaro Valley.” said John Kegebein, CEO of the Agricultural History
Project.
