The Georgia Agrirama’s Spring Folk Life Festival and Fiddler’s Jamboree will be held at the Museum of Agriculture and 1870–1910 Historic Village this weekend with events beginning at 6:30 tonight with a free concert.

The fields have been plowed and the crops are in the ground, so the Agrirama is celebrating with games and contests, exhibits and demonstrations and live entertainment.

From 6:30 to 9 tonight, special guests the Carpenter Family and the Hart Sisters will perform. Full concessions will be available with barbecue pork plates, chicken plates, hamburgers and more food available for purchase.

Also tonight, the Museum of Agriculture will be open so visitors may view the Celtic Collection now on display and talk with the owner and curator Lewis Hales. Hales and Celt models will host a free lecture on the behaviors, attitudes, spirituality and lifestyle of the Celts from 6 to 8 p.m.

Agrirama will open at 9 a.m. Saturday with games and contests such as the plowing contest, log rolling, sack races, three-legged races, egg toss, egg relay, spelling bee and tug-of-war.

Historic demonstrations will include firing of the turpentine still, rail splitting, shingle riving, sheep shearing, peanut planting, lye soap making, butter churning, wool dying, weaving, quilting and more.

Visitors can take a ride on the steam engine train and a traditional wagon ride around the historic site while enjoying a Coke float or an ice cream cone.

Live entertainment can be found on the front porch of the Progressive House and everyone is always invited to join in the singing. The Fiddlers’ Jamboree starts at noon Saturday on the Wiregrass Opry Stage with registration at 11 a.m. Anyone who plays a stringed instrument is welcome to bring it and join the fiddlers on stage (no electric instruments allowed). The entertainment will continue on through the day with a free square dance from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Wiregrass Opry.

The site closes at 5 p.m. Saturday.
