Join Shaker Village and the Long Run Woodford Hounds fox hunters for this grand, traditional event featuring a blessing of the hounds, riders, and horses, followed by the first meet of the formal hunting season.

Arrive at 9:00 a.m. and warm up with winter breakfast foods and beverages alongside roaring outdoor fire pits. Riders and hounds will make their ceremonial approach between 9:30 and 10:00 a.m., with music and the blessing to follow.

This event is included with your general admission to Shaker Village, granting you access to historic tours, exhibits and other experiences across the property.
