Thank you for the warm welcome!
Garfield Farm Museum is on Rt. 38, a couple miles west of Randall Rd. Website is: http://www.garfieldfarm.org/ A small organization but dedicated to preserving and telling about life during settlement times. Great place! The Rare Breed Show is incredible with it's variety of critters shown...and if you're suburban (and cannot have a miniature hereford cow) gets you thinking about alternatives! Last year's Babyface sheep were quite a sight to see! Lyle Behl has been there the past few years with his Auburn Java's and Icelandic chickens. And Garfield sells Java chicks at the event too (last year's prices were $3/chick if memory serves). There's ducks, geese, horses, turkeys - wow, lots to see!
Yes, the show is May 19th, a Sunday, all day. There's a small fee to enter, but all proceeds go towards restoration of the site - it's well worth the cost! Don't forget your chicken totin' box...you might come home with some Java chicks....I know I do!
