Good weather graced the CrossRoads campus for Havest Days on September 25, 2010, when something for the whole family, with special activities for children were offered. Old-time games and crafts, painting pumpkins and gourds, hayrides, shelling and grinding corn to feed barnyard animals, making pancakes and butter, fabricating toothpick and yarn dolls, etc. Adults enjoyed Civil War era stories, special music, boiling molasses, pressing cider, sawing logs with a crosscut, spinning thread and quilting, blacksmithing, homemade foods – including ice cream, and more - gave attendees a glimpse of what life might have been like in an earlier generation. Photos by Allen Brubaker (AB) and Elroy Kauffman (EK).
