BLANCHARDVILLE - Circle M Market Farm, 1784 County H, Blanchardville, is celebrating its second annual Homestead Harvest Day on Saturday, Oct. 25. Begin the day with horse grooming and end with an all-night spin-in for those fiber enthusiasts who just can't get enough of the wooly stuff. Meet the animals, tour the gardens, learn how to spin and felt wool, visit with farm friends and enjoy a day in the country.
A selection of wool-based gifts and homestead beef will be available for purchase. Order a turkey for Thanksgiving and then check out neighbors selling pumpkins, apples and other autumn treats.
Small people can take rides on Shakespeare, an Arabian, and Zinnia, a young Paint filly, from 10 a.m. to noon. All are welcome to experiment with making yarn on a drop-spindle and making felt with a barbed needle from noon to 1 p.m. Kids should have parents on hand to supervise.
MooGrass bluegrass band plays its final concert of the season at 2 p.m. A potluck supper featuring Circle M smoked ham begins at 4 p.m. Participants are asked to bring a dish to pass, lawn chairs or a blanket and some drinks to share.
Those with sleeping bags are welcome to just camp next to their wheels. Knitters and crocheters welcome, of course, and non-fiber spouses and significant others can bring movies to watch.
For directions or information about overnight camping, call (608) 523-4341.
