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!
