Chadds Ford Days: Days for everyone

Posted by ChaddsFordLive on September 12, 2012

The annual Chadds Ford Days went off without a hitch despite the threat of some nasty weather. Saturday and Sunday were sun-drenched with activities for the whole family.

Chadds Ford Days began in the 1950s to celebrate the Sept. 11, 1777, Battle of the Brandywine, but has since become a colonial fair and is one of the major fund-raisers for the Chadds Ford Historical Society. Money raised goes toward maintaining the John Chad House, the Barns-Brinton House and funds various CFHS programs.(Photos by Rich Schwartzman and Emily Myers)

Brandywine-Creek-Boys — The Brandywine Creek Boys with Miss Maggie provide some of the live entertainment during the two-day event.

Marie-teaches — Marie Stotler teaches Nina Vanella, of Clifton Heights, how to weave with rye straw.

Cow-and-Calf — Prada, a 5-year-old Jersey cow, and her 3-day-old calf, Pretzel, from Baily’s Dairy of Pocopson Meadow farm, attract a crowd.

George-Washington — Carl Closs, as Gen. George Washington, strikes an anachronistic pose as he holds a popsicle while standing in front of a mobile ATM machine.
