The Mike Roess Gold Head Branch State Park hosted the 19th annual Yesterday’s Festival on Saturday, January 25.
According to the Yesterday’s Festival’s Facebook page, the event transported visitors back in time to witness pioneer woodworking, live music, tram rides, food trucks, historical demonstrations, antique tractors and machines, cannon and muskets, a children’s story time, and more.
The event started with a Keystone Heights Junior-Senior High School J.R.O.T.C. presentation, followed by music and several reenactments.
Larry Henderson, past president, one of the founders, and a board member of the Yesterday’s Festival, said, “We came up with the Yesterday’s Festival 19 years ago to remember the past, bring things back that people, especially the younger generation, haven’t seen. The main purpose of it was to get families to come out with their kids and have fun.”
