Dear area Farms, Businesses, Organizations and Artists,

MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE OF THE GREAT NUMBER OF REMUS AREA PRODUCTS AND RESOURCES! OCTOBER 13 FALL FEST IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE OURSELVES.

The Remus Area Historical Society is planning the 2nd annual Fall Fest for October 13, 2012, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Activities will occur in the museum, outside the museum, across the street and downtown. The event is designed to draw visitors from the area and beyond with family friendly, educational and fun activities. Three new historical displays (veterans, churches & recreation) will be unveiled at the museum from 10 to 11 a.m. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. an all-you-can-eat meal will be offered at the Wheatland Township Hall (featuring locally produced foods if possible) and a photography show and contest will be held next door. There will also be a scare crow contest, butter making, apple cider making, rail splitting, antique tools and farm implements, product sales, a farm market, baked goods, crafters, vendors, petting zoo, and, horse-drawn wagon rides.
