Many environmental organizations will have displays to help you “go green” in your own home with solar heating, gardening, recycling tips and more. There will be fun crafts for the little ones. And, for those seeking a new companion, the Pet Adoption Network will be bringing adorable kittens and cats!
Tours of the lovely Bayonet Farm residence will offer a glimpse into the lifestyle of its last private owner, Miss Laura Harding. You will see the rooms Miss Harding added to her humble farmhouse in the late 1930s to turn it into a gracious country mansion that would host movie stars of the day. Farmhouse Tours are free but limited; participants must register at the Festival.
