PARKER (Clarion Co.) More than 4,000 people attended the 25th annual Town and Country Day held late last month at Snyder Valley Farms owned by Jack and Donna Snyder. The event was sponsored by the Clarion-Venango Holstein Club. The first such event was held 25 years ago at Snyder’s farm and has been held at many other farms over the years in Cla rion, Venango, and Armstrong counties. Town and Country Day was started as an opportunity for the public to see a working dairy farm in action. During the day, every one was welcome to hayrides, a farm petting zoo, a craft auction, local entertainment, a kiddie pedal pull, bam tours, dairy princess skits, and many games. A big event was milking time on the farm, where everyone could see how today’s milking is done. Free dairy products were given away as they have been for 25 years. Ice cream cones, milk, and cheese were enjoyed by all. Local organizations also provide a wide variety of delicious foods for the WEST SPRINGFIELD. Ma. The 1996 Big E.
