Case-Barlow Farm has announced that the date for the 9th annual Fall Harvest Fest is Sunday, October 5 from 1 to 5 pm. The farm is located at 1931 Barlow Road in Hudson, Ohio. The event will feature live entertainment and music presented throughout the day. In the historic farm house, several "old time crafts" such as quilting, lace making, weaving, and rug hooking will be demonstrated. The Garden Group will be showcasing the renovated garden and demonstrating garden crafts. Antique cars and tractors will be on display to add to the excitement. Throughout the day, there will be hay wagon rides, pony rides for children, and a variety of farm animals to pet. Many hands-on activities will include learning how to make butter, washing clothes with an old-fashioned ringer and tub, using a two-man saw for cutting a huge downed log, decorating horse shoe picture frames and grape vine wreaths, and participating in a scavenger hunt around the farm. There will be traditional games such as sack races, a three-legged race, bobbing for apples, a cakewalk, horseshoes, and checkers. Guests may purchase "grub" and pumpkins for decorating.

The farm is part of the past and present of Hudson. The farm was originally the property of Chauncey and Cleopatra Case who traveled to Hudson in 1814 from Grandby, Connecticut. Five generations of the same family worked the farm until 1996 when the Barlows donated the homestead to the First Congregational Church of Hudson. At that time, the farm was bought by a non-profit, independent corporation formed to restore the homestead and foster an appreciation of the spirit and heritage of its builders, owners and farm laborers.
