Join us for a day or two of our annual Antique Tractor & Arts Festival held on the beautiful grounds of the Liberty Grove Historical Society. This is our main fundraiser for the 2023 Season.
This family-friendly event features vintage tractors, numerous art vendors, music, plenty of good food, snacks, and non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. Young and old are sure to enjoy the tractor parades and hay wagon rides.
A docent will be located in the Log Museum and all of our historic buildings will be open to view except for the barn. Plenty of parking and seating available.
Art Vendors are welcome. Please contact Linda, flowerlinda@msn.com for further information.
As always, we are looking for Volunteers for this event to help in a variety of ways. If you can help, for even part of one of these days, it would be greatly appreciated. All LGHS Volunteers are invited to the Volunteer Picnic on Monday, August 5 at 6:00 pm in the barn for more good food and camaraderie. Please contact Dave Westen at dcwesten@gmail.com if you are available to offer your support.
