The emphasis is on operating rather than static displays on the farm front, visitors can watch sleeper making using a broad axe, hay-baling done by a 1940s stationary baler, milk separating, butter churning and more.
Come and see things done "the hard way" with working demonstrations of old skills taking place on the day such as chaff making, vintage engines, blacksmithing and whip making.
On the household side, ladies will be showing the effort that went into washing and ironing using washboard and stove-heated flat irons, and bobbin lacemaking.
Displays of vintage engines in action and model paddle steamers as well.
BBQ will be manned by the Merrigum Lions Club.
