Wasney says visitors will see historic-breed farm animals and observe traditional crafts and trades, like blacksmithing, spinning, weaving, and woodstove cooking.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children under 12. Children under 3, get in free.

The Farm and Forest Festival will take place tomorrow and Sunday at Morningside Nature Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
