The Peach State Antique Tractor and Engine Club Show will be held this weekend at Prater’s Mill on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
Sherry Sexton will demonstrate homemade biscuit making at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday in the country store.
“I learned to make biscuits by standing in a wooden chair beside my grandmaw, Nannie Bell Terry, who cooked her biscuits on a wood burning stove,” Ms. Sexton said. “ I make my biscuits with White Lilly flour, shortening and milk-sometimes it’s plain milk and sometimes it’s buttermilk,” she said.
Ms.
Sexton said the secret to good biscuits is “don’t make a loose dough and don’t over work it.”
Visitors to the tractor show can enjoy guided tours of the mill, gin and country store for a nominal fee.
Free activities are hay rides, children’s barrel rides, a stick pony race, and a pedal tractor race. A Meadows Mill will grind corn into meal and lots of tractors will participate in the Parade of Power.
Guests can see native wild flowers in bloom on the Norma Gordon Nature Loop and the Prater’s Mill Greenway. For more information, visit
