Sunnybrook Farm Museum hosting 22nd annual Pioneer Days festival
From antique tractors to farm animals and exhibitions, the 22nd annual Sunnybrook Farm Museum Pioneer Days Festival is shaping up to be a weekend of fun for all.
Ian Warwick, Executive Director of Sunnybrook Farm Museum, said if people haven’t visited before, then this would be the weekend to do it. The event runs August 19 – 20 from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
“The barrel train is running all day, there’re bouncy castles and activities going on all day,” he noted. “We have little baby pigs and a couple of calves and some lambs, a donkey, a couple of miniature horses, heritage breed chickens, Daisy the goat is here, so just different animals for people to see that kind of represent what people would have had on the farm.”
The weekend includes a tractor parade at noon on both days featuring machines from 1960 and earlier. Entrants come from all over Alberta, but Warwick said most of the 60-80 participating tractors come from central Alberta, on top of the 36 tractors the Museum has in their own collection.
