More fun this weekend
October 23, 2008
Landmark Park is hosting its annual heritage festival. Families can go out for fun activities and see what life on the farm was like.
Here’s the brief that ran in the Dothan Eagle:
Landmark Park will celebrate the agricultural history of our region with the annual Wiregrass Heritage Festival from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday.
There will be peanut harvesting demonstrations with vintage farm equipment and mules to dig, stack and pick peanuts. Exhibitors will display restored antique tractors, engines and farm equipment. There will also be an antique tractor pull for pre-1964 tractors, cane grinding and syrup making. Other activities will include blacksmithing, basket making, corn shelling, and woodworking. Kids activities will include pony rides, games and a corn maze. Concessions will be available.
Families can also visit the pumpkin patch and, for a small fee, choose a pumpkin to take home. There will be live music and entertainment all day.
Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for senior citizens, $4 for kids, and free for members and children 3 and under. Landmark Park is on U.S. Highway 431 North. For more information, call 794-3452.
