Harvest Fair at Longstreet Farm

To celebrate Mabon and throw in some history lesson we went over to Longstreet Farm for their Harvest Fair.

The kids learned the hard work of Potato Harvesting



Next we played some 1880's games



Then Momma showed them how to walk on stilts


Talk about fun so to finish off the day we entered 2 contest.
Emma and Momma corn Husking Champs


And all 3 kids decided to have a sibling pie off


Ok so lots of fun but we also learned about woodworking and believe it or not they found a bronze saw from over 3000 years ok that was almost identical to the hand saws we use today. Plus in the blacksmith shop we say how a small piece of iron can be turned into a spoon. Sometimes the best way to learn history is to spend a day playing with history.
