Depart SCPL 8:15 a.m.; Return 5 p.m.
Crisp autumn air, jingling draft
horse harnesses, the aroma of smoked meats
and fresh-baked breads set the stage for the
27th annual Homestead Village Craft Fair.
This traditional crafts village showcases a
community of craftsmen who have returned not to the past,
but to the enduring values of hand-craftsmanship.
The lineup of activities and demonstrations is extensive: sheep-
dog herding, barn raising, blacksmithing, butter and cheese
making, wood working, gardening, and quilting. Take a horse-
drawn hayride, try your hand at basket weaving, or just stroll
the grounds and sample the fresh homemade assortment of
tempting foods – from apple cider, cheeses, shish-kabobs, pas-
tries and breads to BBQ. Afternoon musical entertainment
includes gospel, bluegrass and toe-tapping country favorites.
Note: Dress for outdoor weather and walking on uneven grounds.
Ticket cost includes transportation and entrance to fair.
