Farm Day - Tractor Supply Co., Sanford, Maine

[stano40]

Wanted to alert everyone that is coming to the Farm Day that Saturday is supposed to be in the low 90's. Make sure your bringing water for your livestock and yourself. Most important on days like these are water & shelter for you and your animals.

On July 30th in Kennebunk municipal parking lot from 8 am - 12 at the farmers market they will be hosting a poultry event on the care and upkeep. This is being presented by a very nice lady, Kellie Danico who runs the Oxford and Lewiston swap's.

In lieu of the heat wave and 100 degree weather we've had the past few days I started receiving emails that some vendors didn't want to chance the high heat for their livestock and poultry. Very understandable, why put an animal in jeopardy.

Unfortunately since I run the swap I have to go so I bought some water and ice for a community ice water chest to compensate the heat. Getting there in the morning it was very overcast and cooler than the expected 90 + degree weather forecasted.

A few vendors did come with more following during the day for a much cooler day 80 degree and with the overcast it seemed like it was in the 70's. The overcast lasted pretty much all day and everybody did well. What a relief.

Here are a few photo's of the swap. You can tell the photo's are better because my wife Michelle took them with her new ipod.

There were piglets, poultry, farm equipment, chicken coops, a pair of beautiful old english bulldog puppies, some very nicely made bird house's, eggs & goat's milk for sale.

By the way we are looking for more people to sell farm produce, baked goods and more farm equipment.

Hope you enjoyed the swap photo's.

Will there be a swap this Saturday?

Yes, unless the weather does a drastic turn around. The weather is supposed to be cloudy in the morning with a 50/50 chance of rain in the afternoon.
