Ward View Farm hosts 17th Annual Old’ Farmin Days

The 17^th Annual Old Farmin’ Days will be held on Sept. 10 at Ward View Farm in northern Boone County, located at 1171 Rockton Road in Caledonia.

Over the past 17 years, the farm show has grown from a neighborhood picnic to a well known event drawing in over 2,500 people.  Old Farmin’ Days will hold demonstrations on several pieces of antique farm equipment being powered by either antique tractors or teams of draft horses nonstop from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Back again this year will be the “Haying with Horses”a demonstration of seven pieces of hay equipment all with teams of horses. There also will be the usual demonstrations of antique tractor pulls, pedal tractor pulls for the kids, horse plowing demonstrations, kid’s games, a petting zoo, wagon rides, chainsaw art, blacksmithing, as well as plenty of farm antiques to see and watch.

This is a great chance to step back in time and see how farming was done many years ago down on the farm. There is no admission fee, but donations are appreciated.
