5. PIONEER DAYS

Where/When: Tanglewood Farm, Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Why Go: The kids can get in the pioneering spirit by panning for gold and arrowheads. Watch sheep-shearing and see how wool is transitioned to the spinning wheel and spun into sweaters, caps and socks. Take a pony ride or a hay ride and, of course, pet and feed over 100 miniature farm animals.

Pricing: $10; free for infants
