HORSE DRAWN WAGON RIDES

Step back in time with a free horse-drawn wagon ride. Families are invited to enjoy a complimentary relaxing ride around the Expo grounds behind a beautiful team of horses, offering a charming and memorable way to take in the sights and sounds of the event. This free experience is a favorite for all ages and a wonderful reminder of the traditions and working animals that continue to be part of New Hampshire’s agricultural heritage.

DEMONSTRATIONS

Watch traditional skills and modern techniques come to life through live demonstrations happening throughout the Expo. From rug braiding, wool spinning, and felting to live-edge woodcraft, sawmills, and working oxen teams, these demonstrations showcase the knowledge, tools, and traditions that shape New Hampshire’s agricultural and forestry heritage.

4-H COMPETITIONS & CLOVER CORNER

FARMO

Kids can learn while they explore with our FARMO game! Young visitors receive a FARMO game card and are invited to visit participating exhibitors throughout the Expo to answer a fun trivia question and earn a sticker at each stop. Once their card is complete, kids can trade it in for a prize — turning the Expo into an interactive scavenger hunt that encourages learning, discovery, and engagement with exhibitors along the way.
