Newburg,Pa.rural life festival

tractor pulls

plenty for children to do,picking up taters

they used wire  to tie the bales,no one wore gloves,had to be hard on hands

pride in the Amish man`s face
 

I loved watching the peoples faces

the man on the clear left knew every operation going on at this festival

the husks are flying off

the steam engine ran this machine that made the hay really fine.the hay too wet to use,other hay was used to bale

My friend,Cathleen,invited me on Sat.to go to an event that you don`t normally see,the Amish demonstrating how work on the farm was done in the olden times.It was almost 90 degrees on Sat.I was really moving forward with throwing away & the keeping of other things of my husband`s,here at home,I didn`t want to stop because I was making some progress.

the young couple running this steam engine were adorable

 

the man is driving the horses to cut the hay

a lot of thistles

gathering of the cut hay

But,I did decide to go,& I was glad.I don`t know how many pictures I can upload on this one post,but I`ll begin & may have to complete it another day.

removing corn from husks

I don`t think the pictures are going to load in order....just sayin`.

I had a ride on the wagon
