Pasadena invited to take step back into past
As the days of winter approach, a Pasadena public space is once again preparing to host one of the area’s most popular fall festivals.
The Armand Bayou Nature Center’s Martyn Farm will take visitors back in time to the state’s early days, and will be celebrating the harvest the way it would have been done years ago. Those who come to the event will be able to watch live demonstrations of old-fashioned trades from soap making to wood working, calligraphy and blacksmithing.
A general store, named Martyn’s Mercantile, will be open for business offering an assortment of products, including souvenir t-shirts. Promotional products like this can be designed by a printer in the local area.
Many activities on offer will be hands-on, and all ages can try their hand at using a washboard, playing games and making crafts. Period entertainment will be on hand at the farmhouse porch, and once again, the star of the show will be the demonstration of how sugarcane was grown, harvested and transformed into sugar syrup. All ages are welcome to visit the farm animals, and there will also be wagon rides and lots of other activities as well.
The Martyn Farm Harvest Festival will be held on November 11th and 12th. The admission fee will be $12.00 for adults, $8.00 for seniors and children between the ages of 4-12. Toddlers under 4 will be admitted free of charge.
