Date - July 17th
Time - 12 to 4 with last entry at 3pm
Adults - $6.00 and children (4 to 12) -$6.00

Bring your swimsuit and old shoes because wet is the theme for this special day at the Plantation. Pirates will attack the farm house. Youngsters will be encouraged to run the maze and the gauntlet while being squited with water. There will be foot races, face painting, rubber ducky races in the creek and and a water balloon toss. Use your feet to wash clothes and bob for apples with your toes. Throw a wet sponge at a captured pirate. The day starts at 12 and the pirates will invade at 12:30. They will control the farm (and help with the games) until they are repulsed by the local militia at 3:45. Bring the family and enjoy old fashion fun that has nothing to do with technology just nature, water, and your imagination.
