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.


The dining room table was set in the farmhouse.

Nice idea. Thank you to the kids who support this. Seems a bit of diversity in the make-up of the kids leading the group would go a long way to making "everyone" feel welcome. Sadly, not seeing it, at least in what is presented here.
Awful, racist perspective. There is nothing wrong with the "make-up" of these four kids.
Sunny, with a high of 67 and low of 31 degrees. Sunny for the morning, clear overnight.
As we noticed the rapid deterioration and indentation of the road from all of this truck traffic, which presumably will only get worse as the weather and road surface gets warmer, we have wondered just who is responsible for the cost to repair/replace these roads?
Did anyone ask the nearby residents if they want a party palace in their neighborhood? Traffic, parking, crowds, trash, noise: was any of this considered when making this decision?
The organizers are required to submit an application to the City of Saline for this event. If you wish to provide input, comments can be sent to the City Clerk or made in person at anytime or more specifically when their application appears on the council agenda.
So the senior citizens and the kids that decided not to go to work are doing what? Protesting what? Are they updet that KAMALA was REJECTED? Then let them have FREE CHEESE.
You are so easily triggered you ancient snowflake. Calm down. Get off the internet, stop listening to podcasts. Go touch grass. Your king lied to you, that’s very obvious at this point. Now, you just seem to be lying to yourself.
Tom you sound like your disillusioned by the liberal media are you admiting that your "wrong" I sense anger in your statement? What is it that you are AFRAID of? Is VOTE ID against your parties wish LIST?
Enjoy the senior parade!
In 1845 there was a flour mill, a dam and tailrace . It was placed on the National Historic Register as Schuyler Mills Historic District. This 13-acre historic district is now a well known landmark representing an era we will never see again..
