In celebration of farm life -- Sunny Valley style Nature Conservancy preserve hosts annual open farm day

Hundreds of residents flocked Sept. 19 to the Sunny Valley Preserve in New Milford for its annual Open Farm Day.

In addition to hayrides, a corn maze and animal exhibits, festivities included the sale of pumpkins, the viewing of antique and modern tractors and farm equipment, face painting, a kiddie construction cornbox, games, a processing livestock feed demonstration, an historical display, animal petting, a scavenger hunt and hiking.

Demonstrations of spinning wool and soap making were also offered patrons.
