Sherburne to celebrate agriculture at Heritage Day Saturday
SHERBURNE – The Sherburne Historic Park Society plans to celebrate the township’s agricultural beginnings during its annual Sherburne Heritage Day, which is set to take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Historic Park in Sherburne.
The day, called “Salute to Agriculture,” promises family fun for all ages. Events begin with the Cub Scout’s flag raising at 10 a.m., followed by the easy listening music of the 40s & 50s as performed by local musicians Jenni Larcher, Carl Pickett, and Tom Murphy from 10:30 a.m. to noon. The Blue Valley Boys, a country band, will take the stage from 12 to 2 p.m.
Included in the day’s schedule will be a Girl Scouts Centennial Celebration, commemorating 100 years since its inception, and a Relay for Life presentation.
Bringing more meaning to Heritage Day, Sherburne residents will be able to learn about the history of their town while also participating in one-room schoolhouse lessons and exploring historic displays in the Log Cabin between School Street and Champ Drive.
“We hold Heritage Day to educate the local citizens about their heritage and show them what Sherburne is all about,” said Assistant Historian Philip Martin.
With an emphasis on local agriculture this year, there will be a tractor display along with small farm machinery. Attendees will also have the opportunity to watch demonstrations of verious occupations including blacksmithing, spinning and maple syrup production. Horse-drawn carriage rides will also be available, courtesy of long-time Sherburne residents, the Mulligan family.
The kids will not be left out with games, a coloring contest and the opportunity to have their picture taken with the Kuhn’s Cow, a wooden replica of a cow created by the late Howard Finch and named after Finch’s grandparents. Khun’s Cow was recently restored by Josie Hodges.
Concessions will also be on sale by the Historic Society and The Lost Bikers BBQ after the flag raising.
Local residents with yard sale items are welcome to bring their own tables and tents and set up in the Historic Park during the day’s activities.
