Most years it's pretty good. Between the weather and the rather blah theme this year (The 1950s) it was a bit flat, sort of like stale beer.
They did have a blacksmith as usual. He was using a portable forge to demonstrate how nails were made by hand. There were farm animals in pens for the city kids who've never seen or touched one. The original 19th century farmhouse was open for tours, and some 1950s cars and tractors were on display.
