Dairy Day
This foodie event is for all the families whose kids don’t know where milk comes from.
Dairy Day takes place June 2, 2012, in the Historic Park at Burritt on the Mountain, Huntsville, Alabama (map).
Visitors can churn butter, enjoy a cool glass of milk with cookies, crank an ice cream churn, learn about blacksmithing and try their milking technique on Boxy (a fortunately faux cow).
There’ll also be real goats and real cows in the barnyard.
Burritt’s Historic Park interprets the past by showcasing aspects of farm life from the 19th century. Living history interpreters, dressed in period clothing, recreate the diversity of farm life allowing visitors of all ages to become involved through lively conversation, demonstrations and hands-on activities.
