Harvest Celebration! 2024

Smeck Park
7395 Basil Rd
Baltimore, OH  43105

Watch as members of Fairfield County Antique Tractor Club bring in the crops using early farm machinery.  Share in some of the work such as bagging just-dug potatoes, pick and shuck maize or popcorn, then take home some of the fresh goodies!  Pick your own pumpkin and gourd – one each, please.

There will be activities and games for all ages, demonstrations, displays, vendors, music, and food trucks.  Come, have fun with us!
