SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Santa Cruz County Fair Grounds
(see times)
The Agricultural History Project is hosting the Annual Day On The Farm to celebrate the history of good old-fashioned farming on Saturday, May 10 at 10:00 am – 3:00 pm at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds, Highway 152 outside Watsonville. This event is $2 per person. Children under 1 year old are free. Donations are also appreciated. Bring your whole neighborhood to participate!
This year the 4-H Fair will be at Day on the Farm. The 4-H will have a poultry show, exhibits, a dessert silent auction and more. And when you get hungry, you can purchase something delicious from their luncheon menu.
Children and adults will be able to grind corn, pump water, churn butter, make ice cream, watch horseshoeing, play old-fashioned games with stilts and hoops, chalk drawing, and all the other activities we will have available! We’ll also have our special tractor driving for both kids and grownups.
The tractor rodeo will be at 1:00 pm with trophies and ribbons! And a team of Clydesdale draft horses will be giving hayrides between 11:00 am and 2 pm. From 2pm – 3pm some lucky attendees will be able to drive the horses around the Gazebo with experienced teamsters assisting.
In addition to the horses, you will also be able to see rabbits, lambs, goats, chickens, and alpacas from Rock Star Alpacas.
“Day on the Farm is one of our biggest events of the year. People of all ages have a great time participating in the activities of daily farm life of yesterday, as well as wandering through the exhibits on the history of agriculture here in Pajaro Valley.†said John Kegebein, CEO of the Agricultural History Project.
