Old Fashion Farming Days
July 29 & 30, 2011
This year was the 7th annual Old Fashion Farming Day.
Activities included wheat threshing, baling, hay pressing,
demonstrating the pony treadmill and many more fun
activities. A new attraction this year, the Reaper, was
introduced by owner and host, Mervin Yoder. He began
by demonstrating the various handheld scythes (seen
to the right) that had been used through the years and
ended in telling the history of the horse-drawn reaper
(shown below).
