Draft Horse Demonstration & Community Day Saturday, June 14th, 2008 This
popular annual event starts at 10:00 a.m. with the hitching up of the horses
and continues until mid-afternoon.
Watch how the hay was harvested during the late 1800s using strong
draft horse teams and vintage machinery. Historic Hat Creek Ranch is also
proud to host its “Community Day” on the same day, offering local
residents free admission to the historic site. Trappers’
Rendezvous Saturday, August 2nd and Sunday August 3rd, 2008 Take
a step back in time and experience the trappers’ lifestyle at their camp,
where they demonstrate the use of flint lock guns or black powder rifles and
show you how trappers used to live, hunt and prepare their meals.
