If the Historical Society had a few “older citizens” who have lived in Hillsdale County their entire lives come up and tell stories about growing up here and answer any questions about “life back then” - look at some old photographs, etc…is that something that might interest you?

Another Farm Festival in the books today. We would like to thank the cars that came out and are sorry we had to cut that part a little short. Rain unfortunately did end up finding us around noon. Thank you to our sponsors and DJ Chasenlyrics. Thank you to Center Adams tractor club for bringing in tractors. We were so happy to have Tee and Helen back with their chuck wagon and Dan Conklin with Civil War items. Thank you for doing that. Supporters who made baked goods- thank you. Thank you to Bob Kline for working so hard on getting our newest museum put together. And finally thank you to the visitors who showed up today.

With tomorrow being the first time our old barn museum will be open, we would like to thank all of our donors who contributed but especially major donors. Special thanks to Evan Blonde for placing new, safe steps into our general store. Tractors are coming in tonight for the fun and games tomorrow and weather forecast is looking better- partly sunny with rain holding off until the afternoon. Keep those positive thoughts flowing.
