You won’t want to miss a stop at the Grand Ladies of the Old West for an authentic photo in Western attire. No tenderfoots allowed as you don authentic western wear. The kids are going to love the face-painting corral where all kinds of creative designs are available as well as the Poway 4H Club Petting Zoo…kids talking to kids about the love of animals. We’ll have a real blacksmith to show the kids what a blacksmith does and give them a chance to bang a hammer. And there will be games aplenty with corn-hole beanbag tosses and old-fashioned cornhusking to name a few.
While there will be plenty of wine, craft beer and vittles tastings, the kids will also find an old-fashioned ice cream cart, a lemonade stand, and a popcorn cart that is sure to please the kid in all of us. We will have plenty of entertainment and family activities planned for the day and sincerely hope the whole family will come and have a blast! This event has been designed for all to enjoy.
