Harvest Picnic & Early American Pie Contest!
At Oconee Station State Historic Site
It’s harvest season at Oconee Station and that no longer means work, it means FUN!! Join us for an afternoon of old-fashioned family fun and games. We all wish for simpler times sometimes, so here is an opportunity to experience them. Games start at 12pm and the fun won’t stop until 3:30pm. Contest games will be divided by ages so everyone can play! Are you a baker? We are having a pie contest, too! If you want to compete, get your name in by Monday, November 10, 2025. Our judges will base their decisions on taste, presentation, and creativity. Maybe they will even leave you some to taste! Check out the schedule details below.
