Oct 14-15 – Antique Tractor Week
Start those engines, and ride on over to Stuckey’s this weekend for a roaring good time.
This Harvest Festival: Antique Tractor Week, we pay tribute to the machines that make farming possible.
Watch as vintage tractors strut their stuff in our tractor parade, and then get an up close look at these operating antiques. A range of smaller farming equipment and tools will be on display to provide a glimpse into Indiana’s proud farming history.
We’ve pulled out all the stops, and our Kids Pedal Tractors will be waiting to see who can pedal them the farthest. If that doesn’t leave your little farmers plum tuckered out, head over to Adventure Acres where all your family favorites will be open, including the tube slide, Mega Slide ($), Pig Races, jumping pillows, pedal cars and barrel train. Ride our tractor pulled wagon out to, wander the corn maze, pick a pumpkin or some apples, and maybe even test your aim at the Apple Cannon Range ($).
After you’ve worked up an appetite, don’t forget to stop by the Snack Barn or Donut Bakery to sample our seasonal speciality items and some old favorites. Don’t forget to snap a picture with our very own antique tractor before you mosey on home.
Oct 21-22 – Frontier Week
This Harvest Festival: Frontier Week, you can also give others a taste of the frontier (canned beans, chili, corn, etc) with our “Let’s Can Hunger” Program. Simply bring 2 canned goods of your choice to donate, and in exchange, you will receive $10 admission.
Past the gates and into the corral, you’ll experience a snapshot of frontier life in the 1850s. Walk through history with demonstrations from our blacksmith, folk artist and wood carver, and other rustic vendors. See how the pioneers traversed this great country with our real Conestoga Wagon, and sample some of the foods they would have eaten at our Snack Barn.
Once the kids have learned about the pioneers, it’s time to see if they have what it takes to make it on the frontier. They can try their hand at cattle roping with our roping dummies and their marksmanship at our axe (foam) throwing stations. Over at our “Wanted” Sign photo booth and Stockades, everyone can experience the wilder side of pioneer life.
Now, vamoose, ya varmints and ya’ll come back now!
Oct 28-29 – Nightmare Before Christmas Market
Come dressed to fright or delight, and enter our Halloween costume contest (no masks please, onsite entrants only). If you forgot your costume, you might find something festive at one of our many VENDORS. WATCH OUT! You might get a TRICK instead of a TREAT at our “Tent or Treat” vendors (look for the participation pumpkins).
If we’ve made the chills run up your spine (or the temperature did), warm up with a bit of fun at the Pumpkin/Ornament Bowling hay-lanes. Get the blood really pumping over at Adventure Acres with the tube slide, Mega Slide ($), Pig Races, jumping pillows, pedal cars, and barrel train. Ride our tractor-pulled wagon out to wander the corn maze, pick a pumpkin or some apples (apples may be out of picking by this event date), and maybe even test your aim at the Apple Cannon Range ($). For an added warm-up, visit the Snack Barn where they’ll be serving food and drink that will fill you with that holiday cheer.
Now, we aren’t the Grinch and don’t say “Bah Humbug”, but this ends our Harvest Festival season, and as Santa says, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” *wink wink*
