Grove City, Ohio – August 22, 2008 – Have you ever wondered how rope and brooms were made before there were shopping malls and hardware stores? What about butter; where did it come from before there were supermarkets?

Old Time Harvest Day in Grove City, Ohio will give today’s youthful generation a look into the past on Sunday, Oct. 5 from 1-5 p.m. at Century Village, 4185 Orders Rd.

“This is truly an event for the entire family and the best part is that it is completely free,â€

I just saw this post and thought it would be worth mentioning another similar event right here in the Rocky River Reservation. The Cedar Valley Settlers Celebration & Music Festival will take place Sunday, Sept. 21 at the Rocky River Nature Center and the Frostville Museum. It's really a nice event for the family - last year was the first I had heard of it and I was pleasantly surprised. The kids had a chance to make yarn dolls, dip candles (and then carve their own candle holder), etc., and got a chance to generally see how things were done in the pioneer days (how to weave chairs, make various foods - and taste them! - how to make rugs. There are musicians sprinkled throughout the paths around the nature center and on the main stage at the Frostville Museum, plus story tellers and other various entertainment. It's a beautiful setting - sort of like a smaller Yankee Peddler without all the craft booths - and it's completely free!
