DOTHAN: Landmark Park will celebrate the rich history of the Wiregrass with the annual Fall Farm Day (formerly known as Wiregrass Heritage Festival) on October 25 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Peanut harvesting the old fashioned way will take place throughout the day, as well as cane grinding, syrup making, antique tractor and engine displays, and cooking on a woodstove. Syrup, warm from the kettle, will be on sale at the event. Tractors will participate in an Antique Tractor Pull and Parade. Entry forms for tractors and quilts can be found online at www.landmarkparkdothan.com.
Admission to Fall Farm Day is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and active military, $4 for kids and free for park members and children 2 and under. Concessions will be available, and the Martin Drugstore and Shelley General Store will be open.
Landmark Park will also host the Landmark Park Quilt Show, held in conjunction with Wiregrass Heritage Festival, on October 24-26 in the Stokes Activity Barn. The theme for this year’s show is “The Power of Pink” in honor of breast cancer awareness.
Over 100 quilts are expected to enter the juried show, as well as a non-juried exhibit of antique and contemporary quilts. A silent auction, quilting demonstrations and sewing related vendors will be present on Saturday.
Admission to the quilt show is free with your paid gate admission ($4 for adults and $3 for kids on Friday and Sunday). Admission is free each day for Park members.
