2007
YEAR IN REVIEW
SO
MUCH HAPPENED IN 2007!!!!!
The Howard
County Antique Farm Machinery Club celebrated its 12th year with
a multitude of activities. The standard activities took place; the
Annual Consignment Sale at the Howard County Fair Grounds, The
Spring Horse and Mule Field day, The Annual
Wheat Cutting, Club field trips, The Farm Heritage
School Days, and the Annual Farm Heritage Days. All this along
with major construction on the Living Farm Heritage Museum.
We were
very happy to start the construction of our Main Display Building.
The Structure is a 100x200 foot pole building with a 80x200 open
display arena and 20x200 finished display and administrative spaces.
The Building is being dedicated in honor of the late Maryland State
Senator James Clark. Senator Clark was a charter member of the
Howard County Antique Farm Machinery Club, Inc. (AFMC) and is widely
credited for his activities in state wide farm preservation. He was
a good friend and active member of the AFMC and we are honored to
dedicate this large display building as a tribute to Jim and his
many accomplishments.
Some other
exciting activities that took place this year was also associated with the Howard County Living Farm Heritage
Museum's construction projects. The One Room school house is now
open for tours and visits. We also placed the first of many displays
in the Dairy Barn this year. We were able to place the first of out
two saw mills in service this year and conducted sawing
demonstrations at our 12th annual farm Heritage days.
Also this year
we were pleased to hold our 12th Annual Farm Heritage Days, at the
Living Farm Heritage Museum for the third year running .
The entire club
is very excited about the Museum's development and have been working like crazy
on a number of projects. There are a number of projects still being
worked on in 2008. Check out our 2008 Goals link for an update.
Take a look

year...
