2024 Vintage Dad's Day
Come out and celebrate the dad in your life with a day of baseball, cars, tools, antiques, great food and live music!
Vintage Baseball | 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.
Enjoy baseball as it was played in the 1860s with this exciting match-up between the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings and the Bluegrass Barons.
Both teams will wear period-reproduction uniforms and use period-reproduction equipment while following baseball rules from the late-19th century. Discover the origins of America’s pastime and how much the game has changed in the last 150 years.
Bring your own lawn chair, and we'll provide the shade tree.
Classic Car & Tractor Show | Noon-4:00 p.m.
This part of the day really gets our motor running (we had to have a dad joke somewhere)! Tour vintage cars and tractors, and meet their owners to learn more about collecting and caring for these unique pieces of Americana.
Cigar Lounge | Noon-4:00 p.m.
Hangout in our lounge to improve your cigar knowledge. Jake's Cigar Bar will be hand rolling cigars and selling a selection of them – a perfect gift for dad! You’ll learn more about cigar pairings to how to cut and light a cigar.
Bourbon Tasting | Noon-4:00 p.m.
Join Wildnerness Trail Distillery in the bourbon booth for sample pours. Their team will be on hand to educate guests on their bourbon selections and the history of this Danville-based distillery.
Vintage Tool Displays | Noon-4:00 p.m.
Learn more about the hand tools of days-gone-by.
