BURLINGTON, ON
There is that fall festival hymn:
Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home!
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
Loads of things for the younger ones to do.
Burlington’s rural roots made farming a part of our DNA. The folks at Ireland House do an annual event that takes a stab at experiencing the tradition this Sunday, September 16, 11 am to 4 pm.
Meet baby farm animals (bunnies, goats, ducklings & chicks!)
Burlington Horticultural Society – make a fall floral arrangement in a mason jar
The hay maze is a challenge – hopefully someone explains where the hay came from and what farmers do with it.

Well I think everyone knows that hay comes from a field and farmers feed their livestock with it.
Straw bales on the other hand get used to make mazes.
