The event will bring history to light with pony rides and museum and barn tours. Attendees will enjoy live Blues music from Big Pete and Friends as well as African drumming from Nanou Djapo. Food will be provided by Marichona’s Cuisine and lawn games will also be available. Registration is encouraged.
