17th Annual Mid-Missouri Horse, Mule, & Ox Farming and Historical Crafts Days

Heritage crafts and old-tyme farming skills are highlighted in this 2-day family event that showcases a simpler life. Draft animals will be demonstrating "no gas needed" farming skills and offering wagon rides, as well as providing power for corn-grinding and sorghum pressing (weather permitting). Syrup cooking, spinning, soapmaking, dry stone masonry, native plant identification & hikes, antique and vintage clothing, Indian artifacts, flintknapping, children's primitive games & toys, beekeeping, and much more! (listing subject to change). Pleign-aire artist Gina Brune and Best-Of-Missouri-Hands photographer Kim Carr will be capturing rural scenes on-site, and local author Walter Schlemper will be signing his autobiographical books about life on the farm. Rare livestock breeds on display, live music by The Bluegill Buddies. Whole hog barbecue, kettle corn, pork rinds, other treats! More may be added as we get closer to the event weekend!
