13th Annual Iams Homestead Pioneer Harvest Fest

Set down, shut your eyes and imagine the smell of hot dogs cooking over an open fire; home made chili cooking in a large cast iron pot over an open fire; and all the other smells associated with a perfect autumn day.  Now add to that the smell of fresh baked pies waiting to be judged. Makes you want to go back home and enjoy the sites and sounds of our youth.  You may not be able to go back in time, but you can still experience those joys by joining the Trotwood-Madison Historical Society at their 13th Annual Iams Homestead Pioneer Harvest Fest.  The master chili chefs will be stirring up chili fit for a king; placing it in an open kettle; and cooking it over an open fire.  If you have been to our past harvest fests, you know how good the chili and hotdogs are.  If you have not attended our event, you are in for a pleasant surprise.  Beverages, crackers and condiments will be available to add spice to your chili and hotdog.
