What a great weekend we had. On Friday evening Jeff, Beth, Sarah and I were sitting on the porch of the heritage center watching the rain and wind tear through the farm. We took turns peaking around the corner to see if the big tent was still standing. At that point all there was to do was sit back and hope for the best on Saturday. We had taken care of the details that were within our control the rest wasn't up to us. Come Saturday morning we had a beautiful sun rise with hardly a cloud in the sky. Egg Harbor served the classic farm breakfast with the Blue Water Rambler's Bear and Jim supplying the background music. Visitors could try contests of milk chugging to chip tossing. There were demonstrations of butter and ice cream making. There was even a 4-H lamb and calf show. By the time we wrapped up we had seen over 1,200 folks at the farm for a day of learning and fun!
Thanks to everyone who braved the mud to support the farm. And if you find yourself up at Egg Harbor please tell them thanks for being friends of the farm. Without their donations and help this event would not be what it is.
