The New Deal Festival is just around the corner! Join us in celebrating the New Deal, those who came before, and the history of Arthurdale.

Gates open at 10 am and the day will be filled with four live music groups, craft show, antique car and tractor show, hay and wagon rides, kid’s activities, farm petting zoo, and much more!
