Farm Toy And Craft Show Has Displays And More
The annual Horicon FFA Alumni Farm Toy and Craft Show will be held at Horicon Middle/High School, which is located on the east side of Horicon, 841 Gray St.
Hundreds of people turn out for the unique event each year.
The event has grown each year, although this year will be a scaleddown version featuring seven display tables. In prior years, as many as 30 tables filled the gymnasium.
Farm displays are a popular feature of the event. The displays included farm layouts with scaled machinery, fields, and buildings.
In addition, vendors had various models of machinery of different scales. Other vendors offered manuals for tractors and machinery. There were also vendors with an assortment of crafts.
Lunch was available from the beginning of the event until the end in the cafeteria. Throughout the day, door prizes were awarded.
More information can be obtained at the “Horicon FFA Alumni Farm Toy & Craft Show” Facebook page. Contact page and event host Doug Tuttle for more information.
The event is hosted by Horicon FFA Alumni, with the profits benefiting Horicon FFA.
The dates, times and details of this event are subject to change.
