NC State University produced this video about Farm City Day
Approximately 50 acres of Jackson Park was used for urban, rural and educational displays, antiques and modern farm equipment, and crafters from many generations. Farm City Day focuses on ‘agricultural awareness’, teaching kids where their food comes from and who produces it. The event celebrates Henderson County’s rural traditions and introduces the urban population to some common farming activities both modern and from previous generations.
A special youth area featured many hands-on activities including a farm animal petting zoo, old-timey demonstrations and a fishing pond, children’s games and activities. The International Harvester Tractor Club pulled over 1200 people on wagon rides. The HC Beekeepers Club, Master Gardeners, Bullington Gardens, NC Department of Agriculture, NC Forest Service and HC Extension Service provided agricultural education. Three local bands performed throughout the day Carolina Bound, Roots and Dore and Mcintosh and the Lionhearts. Crooked Jacks Irish Fare, the Edneyville Lions Club and Kole Kole Ice provided food and snacks. The North Henderson High School FFA sponsored and managed the fish pond. Finally, fire fighters, EMS and the Sheriff’s Department set up educational stations.
