Happy Valley Mow Day

Mow Day

Mow Day is an opportunity to watch antique mowing machines being pulled by livestock as they cut hay the way it's been done for generations in Happy Valley. About two dozen participants will ride colorful traditional mowers with decorative painting throughout the day on Saturday, August 15, at the Jones Farm. Local players of traditional music will provide entertainment during the day, which includes horse drawn wagon rides for kids and foods from local community groups.
