Sept. 17, 2011 Annual Prairie Fest - Campton Hills, IL

Bluegrass pickers wanted at Corron Farm, 7N761 Corron Road in Campton Hills to help celebrate the 2011 Annual Prairie Fest on Saturday September 17th. 

Corron Farm was settled in 1835 and was in the Corron family until Campton Township purchased it in 2002 for open space.  The farmstead is a Kane County Historic Site. Prairie Fest celebrates agriculture, history and nature, so bluegrass musicians will fit right in.  We will have tours of the 1850 home and the 1880s hired man's house, hayrides through the prairie and savanna, various historical and nature exhibits, cider and donuts and cakes made from 100+ year old recipes, a children's corner, antique tractors and other farm equipment.

The event is held at Corron Farm, 7N761 Corron Road in Campton Hills. The farm is north of Silver Glen Road but south of McDonald Road, right across from the Meissner-Corron Forest Preserve (which is where the volunteers park).
