GREENLAND - In the true tradition of
the harvest season the Ontonagon County Harvestfest took place
Saturday at Stenson Park in Greenland. Once again Ontonagon held
an event that is helping to preserve the heritage of the Western
U.P.

The day’s program included exhibits,
petting zoos, cider making and other traditional elements of our
community. Pictured above is Eric Smith

In the afternoon there was a
fun-walk, pictured above, that included a lot of kids and their
parents.

|
At the fair there were games and
amusements for the little ones, like bowling with a pumpkin, and
face painting.
|
 |
|
A big event of the day was the Pie Contest. Each contestant
entered two pies. Slices were sold and the proceeds of the sale
would go to the winner of the pie contest.
|
 |
|
Also at the event were farmers,
gardeners and crafters selling their produce and products. One
could shop for farm-fresh and handcrafted items while listening
to music played by local musicians “ Dale and Dale”. |
