All 4th grade classes of Eastern Elementary recently visited the agriculture display at the
Greentown Historical Society.  In the above photo, exhibit committee member, Bonnie
Middlesworth, shows Jacob Powell and Pacey Parrow one of the 48 farm-related hats on display.

   The Greentown Historical Society will declare “Hats Off to Farmers Day” on Saturday, June 9, from 9:00 to 4:00 at the Historical Society, 103 E. Main St., Greentown. The public is invited.  Drinks and doughnuts will be served early.
   Visitors are invited to look over the 48 hats on display along with old farm tools, local farm-related business histories, state champions, and many other interesting items that tell the story of “Agriculture Through the Years.” There is a large collection of aerial photos of local farms.  Histories are displayed of the only two implement dealers still in Howard County.  Children will enjoy seeing the miniature farm, complete with animal replicas.  This outstanding exhibit will close on June 24.
   While in town, visit the Farmers Market and the Historical Society garage sale, each open 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
