Old Fashioned Days return to Honey Locust Farms

On Sunday, April 28, the hillsides of south Scottsville will be filled with draft horses, oxen, and ponies as the Western New York Draft Horse and Pony Club, Inc. presents its 26th annual Old Fashioned Days at the Honey Locust Farms in Caledonia. Nearly 100 draft animals in teams of two, three, four, five, and six will pull plows and ready fields for planting spring crops, reminiscent of a by-gone era. Demonstrations will begin at 9 a.m. and continue throughout the day. Refreshments and a chicken barbecue will be available.

Free horse drawn wagon rides will take visitors into the fields to watch at close range the work being done. There is no charge for admission and there is plenty of free parking.

Honey Locust Farms is located off Maxwell Station Road, south of Scottsville. Take West River Road north off Route 5 west of Avon, turn left onto Cameron Road and right onto Maxwell Station Road or take West River Road south out of Scottsville, turn right onto South Road, and then left onto Maxwell Station Road.
