Harvest Faire

Had the pleasure of attending the 2^nd Annual Harvest Faire this year and had a good time. It is most definitely a family event, with activities geared toward the toddler set.
Visitors were invited to enjoy a ride on the historic tractor-​drawn hay wagon, run around the pumpkin patch, or play in the haystack. There was also live theater with the Let’s Pretend Farm Time Tour where the audience becomes farmers and farm animals in «The Cutest Show on Earth.»
The Harvest Faire featured live music at the Old Hay Barn with performances by some bluegrass bands. There was a petting zoo which turned out to be a miniaturized farm! There were goats, pigs, rabbits, chickens!
General admission to the Harvest Faire is free. Wristbands can be purchased at the event for $ 5 which includes the following activities: ride in the tractor-​drawn hay wagon, making autumn nature crafts, visit animals at the petting zoo, tour the Murray Schoolhouse and Kolb House. Pumpkins from the pumpkin patch could be purchased, with proceeds going to support Dublin Heritage.
The day activities was followed by a Harvest Barn Dance in the Old Hay Barn with an introduction to square dancing by the Northern California Square Dancers Association.
Three stars because it’s a very, very basic event. We were in and out in under an hour. There were at most 5 vendors, from bundt cakes to handmade soap, and maybe 3 food vendors. I think this event has the potential to grow and become a staple within the community. The venue (Heritage Park) is huge and ripe for vendors to showcase their goods. Overall a positive experience, am hoping for continued growth in years to come.
