Wild West group The Ada Free Rangers entertain Harvest Fest 2009 participants with a shoot out.
Make-and-take crafts such as peanut butter pine cone feeders will be available at this year's Harvest Fest, set for Oct. 16 at the Chickasaw White House.
Horse-drawn buggy rides, Wild West shoot-outs and old-time fiddling are just a few activities planned for this year's Harvest Fest at the Chickasaw White House.
Taking place 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday Oct. 16, this event is free and open to the public.
The activities reflect the lifestyle of Chickasaw Governor Douglas Hancock Johnston and his family during the early 1900s.
"This event recognizes a time of the year when crops were 'in', fruits were canned, dried and put away for the winter season and families could relax and sort of celebrate," said Glenda Galvan, site manger for the Chickasaw White House.
Other period-themed activities planned include traditional storytelling, guided tours of the Chickasaw White House and a performance by Western acting group The Ada Free Rangers.
Make-and-take craft classes will also be offered with instructions on how to make items such as scarecrows and pine cone bird feeders.
A Chuck wagon lunch will be served from noon to 1 p.m. and all-day snacks will also follow early 1900s harvest theme.
The Chickasaw White House is located at the north edge of Emet, ten miles east of Tishomingo.
