  1. are there going to be clothes to try on for them? at the Children’s harvest fest. Tussie Mussies to make.

  2. Dawn – to answer your question. Weather permitting, we should be able to set up a tent and allow kids to try on 18th century clothing for the Children’s Harvest Festival (October 18). The tussie-mussies will be available no matter what. We have a great crop of Sweet Annie and scented geraniums for the bouquets, so they will be nice and fragrant.
