        About 100 people visited the Rentschler Farm Museum on a warm Sunday afternoon in Saline.
"It's been a good, steady turnout," said Bob Lane, who dutifully clicked every time a person, family or friends entered the property to tour the museum.

One of the most popular attractions for kids was the table where they painted pumpkins.

Meanwhile, members of the Saline Fiddlers plucked, strummed and sawed their hearts out for the appreciative audience.

Volunteers provided donuts and cider from Coleman's Farm.

Wilma Armbruster Trachet and Elaine Masters showed off their quits in front of the historic photos in one of the barns.

Sheep provided by the Drake farm are always a big attraction.

The sheep stayed out of the sun.

The scarecrow watches over the Rentscher Farm garden.

Scott Ackling provided a tractor and took the guests on wagon rides.

After an afternoon of fiddling, a wagon ride seemed like a good idea.

      This did not have to happen. In past shutdowns, when we had experienced and knowledgeable people in government positions who actually cared about the American people, advance plans were made to ensure funding for this (and other key programs) was in place before the shutdown.
 
      I totally agree what is wrong with Democrat party these days , headed by a bunch of radicals. They kicked out Robert Kennedy and installed Kamala Harris. Now NYC will get a SOCAILIST as mayor and what, that will kill the city. I certainly don't want my tax dollars going to fund SOCIALISM.
 
      Is this even over with? No indication of the date or time.
