Mill Creek's Sunset at the Farm goes on through rain today

CANFIELD

Despite a sudden downpour of rain this evening, Mill Creek MetroParks Farm kept the show going during its “Sunset at the Farm” event to celebrate the end of summer.

“Welcome to the world of the farm,” said Brenda Markley, agriculture education program manager at the farm, on state Route 46.

The event, which was free and open to the public, featured a variety of fall-related activities such as folk music, old-time games, hayrides and homemade cider and apple butter.

“We’ve got a couple more days before the end of summer,” said Carol Vigorito, MetroParks’ recreation and education manager. Monday is the official last day of summer this year.

But many of the event’s activities are made possible by the work done in the summer time, Vigorito says, including cutting the straw down for bedding for animals. It’s also now apple season.

Many of the activities were moved indoors when the rain came pouring down.
