On Saturday evening, July 23, Wellington Farm near Grayling will present their second in a series of four Country Music Shows.   For this performance, the Wellington Country Music Show band will be joined by the Blue Water Ramblers, a popular bluegrass, folk and gospel music group.  Bench and bleacher seating is available at the Main Stage, however lawn chairs and blankets are permitted.  A small concession of snacks and drinks will be available.  In the event of rain, the show will be presented in the Stittsville Church.

Gates to the 60-acre living history farm will open at 6:30 p.m. and the show will begin on the farm’s Main Stage at 7:30 p.m.  Price of admission is $12.50.   As a special bonus for this show, anyone who visits the park during the day on Saturday can purchase their ticket to the Country Music Show for only $5.00 if they buy their show ticket at the same time they pay for their park admission.

On Sunday afternoon, June 24 the Blue Water Ramblers will present a concert of gospel music on the Wellington Main Stage.  The concert will begin at 2:00 p.m.  This concert is presented free to park patrons who purchase regular park admission.  This is a great opportunity for families to visit the farm and see all the working displays and exhibits and enjoy an afternoon of gospel music all for one money.  Come early and visit the Grist Mill, Blacksmith Shop and Summer Kitchen, or stay late and view the new Livestock Barn, the Stittsville Church and the sawmill.  Tours of the historical park will be ongoing throughout the day.
