Meet the alpacas! Matilda the Donkey will be here, and Giant Flemish Rabbits and Pygmy Goats! Demonstrators show how to knit, crochet, weave and use a sock knitting machine. There will be Ham & Bean soup in the big kettle and cornbread, Amish baked goods and everyone gets an alpaca cookie. The blacksmith will be demonstrating and you can make-and-take a project with him. Pony Cart rides, and pony saddle rides. This year we have re-enactors from Ohio Village, and Dr. Balthazar will perform his Medicine Show. Pig races twice each day! Lots of pumpkins, gourds and fall decorations available for sale and the Alpaca Farm Store will be open for business.
