Homestead Craft & Children’s Fair

Crisp autumn air; the jingling of draft horse harnesses; the aroma of homemade tamales, hamburgers, pizza and gorditas; friends and neighbors visiting together; children dipping candles, eating kettle corn, spinning wool, crafting wooden toy boats; the clanging on the blacksmith’s anvil; barn raisings; grinding wheat at the gristmill; choirs and orchestras under the big tent—the annual Homestead Craft and Children’s Fair is all this and so much more. Through this video, originally produced to help celebrate our twentieth annual Fair, the viewer will not only discover a little of the history behind the Fair but will also better understand the vision and purpose that has inspired this happy event, enjoyed each year by thousands of young and old alike.
