A Day at The Homestead Hollow

October 2010 086

This fall we visited a place called the Homestead Hollow, where they have different events throughout the year.

This one weekend they had the harvest celebration.  They took a step back in time and showed how

things were done in the “good ole days”.

These folks were “a pickin and a grinin”.  They were playing some southern gospel and country music.

Dexter was fascinated with the man who was doing some magic.

      Just more pics of different things they were doing to take you

      back in time.  Was wondering to myself if they knew that there is still

      people who dress like they, the Amish.

       There was a lot of vendors set up trying to sell their crafts and also a lot

       of good food being made.  Below, Isaiah is enjoying a fry pie, which was

       a pie filled with custard, sweet potato, pecan , and few other varieties.

The boys had fun getting a ride on the wagon pulled by some mules.  This man was very proud of his

wagon, telling me that is still the original and over 100 years old.

They also gave rides on ponies which we couldnt pass up.October 2010 100
