Join us in Cracker Country from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and find out what it would be like on rural farms of the past. Most big projects on 1898 farms needed lots of hands to complete, that meant a gathering of family, friends and neighbors to share news, stories and work. So, come help us with our Fall chores like stuffing scarecrows, grinding corn, making rope, and sewing quilts. Learn about the process of grinding sugar cane to produce cane syrup and have a taste of the finished product. Pitch in on the regular year-round work of butter making and laundry, as well. This program is open to all guests and is an exceptional value.

Adult admission tickets are $6 each, children ages six to 12 years old and senior citizens enter for $5, and kids five and under are admitted free. Parking is free for this event when visitors enter the Fairgrounds via the Orient Road entrance.
