​Featuring
“Tomahawk Hank”

The smell of open fire cooking and bread-making will be in the air while Hank shows how to make lead bullets over a camp fire, started with flint and steel. Others will demonstrate early Colonial Georgia settlers’ skills, while living in the wilderness.

Hayride 1:00 pm
Bring a picnic lunch and be sure to stick around for the famous “Frying Pan Toss,” where Hank’s wife gets to throw a frying pan at him…at a distance, of course!

Free admission for anyone dressing in Frontier attire!

Admission:
Adults and children over 12–$6.00
Seniors and children 5 to 12–$5.00
