SUMMARY:Volunteer Op: Fall Festival\, Holz Farm\, Eagan MN
DESCRIPTION:Harvest Festival– Saturday\, September 21\, 2024 | $3/person  |  11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. \nThe Friends of the Farm and Eagan Parks & Recreation invite you to join them for a day of fall fun. Visit Historic Holz Farm and enjoy hayrides\, live music\, animals and live demonstrations. A special fiddling  contest will take place at 1:00 p.m. Did you know that Historic Holz Farm is on the National Registry of Historic Places? This 1940’s era farm brings you back to yesteryear and what farming was like back in Eagan’s early days. Tickets are required for all individuals 12 months and older and are available at discovereagan.com or onsite.  \nNote from Zach Christiansen\, the champion:\nThe event is pretty relaxed. Show up a bit early\, clear out the shed so there is room to work (stumps\, fire pits\, some cobbler items) then I setup my forge and anvil so I’m ready for the day. After that it’s just making things\, talking to visitors/answering questions\, and I give away the items I make. Mostly I make hooks or duplex nail swords\, but any small quick to make item has been good for me. I’m sure someone could do larger items\, knives\, etc too. I also have a table setup to show other items I have made in classes. It gives another talking point. And of course keeping an eye out for those folks who are extra curious and making sure they get a brochure.
