Potato Day Festival September 11, 2010


So much to see! So much to do! So much to enjoy! Potato Day is the major fundraiser for the Friends of the Greeley Museums, and they promise fun for the whole family that day. From 10 am to 4 pm there are living demonstrations, hands-on activities, games, dancers, music, rides, good food and much more. With every admission, you'll enjoy a FREE baked potato supplied by Martin Produce--and it comes with all the trimmings. Other food and drink can be purchased on the grounds, including goodies at the bake sale.

Between 30 and 35 demonstrators will be on hand to inform and show off their "old-timey" skills such as:  adobe making, blacksmithing, butter making, chair caning, china and porcelain painting, corn shelling, embroidery, genealogy, Kids' Potato Patch, laundry, printing, quilting, rope making, rug braiding, rug hooking, schoolhouse/teaching, silhouettes, soap making, Spanish Colony Model, stagecoach, stained glass, Swedish arts, tatting, telegraph and telephone, tortilla making, treadle scroll saw, Victorian hairwork, weaving and woodstove cooking. 

Costumed volunteers will add authenticity to the village on Potato Day. All buildings will be open for the day for touring. Come on out and connect with your past. Admission is $6.00 for adults and kids 3-11 are $4. You have looked for it and this is it! Good clean family fun at a low price.
