Traditional craft demonstrations will include Shaker-style broom-making by Kent Ruesswick, wool carding, spinning, knitting and weaving by the R&R Spinners, rug hooking by Parris House Wool Works, blacksmithing by Tim Greene, weaving by Marjie Thompson, wood-turning by Peter Asselyn, tin type photography by AgNO3 Labs and woodcarving by the Poland Woodcarvers.

Books will be signed by Don Perkins, author of “Barns of Maine,” and Chris Becksvoort, who wrote “The Shaker Legacy.”

Free wagon rides will be offered throughout the day, and there will be free face painting for kids along with gourd decorating.
