• 10 a.m. — Take the free class on gardening

• 11 a.m. — Take a class on landscaping

• Noon — Free lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs

• 1 p.m. — Learn how to can your own food

• 2 p.m. — Another gardening class

Throughout the day participants can also learn about beekeeping; how to keep your animals healthy; and how to help with those pesky mosquitos.

The event will have live animals including goats, horses, cats and dogs. And, to amuse the little ones, there will be a live horse that you can paint. Adults might enjoy the antique cars from Allen Vintage Motors, or a nice horse-drawn family wagon ride.
