30th Anniversary, The Artful Peanut, Art Show, Farming, Hammer In,

It was a beautiful day inside and out. The manor house offered a one day, special Anniversary Tour relating the story of Poplar Grove and peanuts. Creative Artists of Hampstead held an art show inside the Cultural Arts Center and on the lawn. Demonstrations and book signings took place throughout the day. Be sure to catch photos of the replica of a 19th century working wood shop made by the Wilmington Area Woodturners. It's amazing! Folks had a chance to sample boiled peanuts, a new taste experience for many. Stories were told and visitors learned a lot about peanut farming. Volunteers gave out more freebies (courtesy of the National Peanut Board). The Artist Blacksmith Association of North America held a Hammer In in the blacksmith shop.
