The grounds of the historic Pownalborough Court House at 23 Court House Road in Dresden will be filled with the sounds of a perfect summer day on Sunday, July 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This annual free event, open to everyone, features horse and wagon rides, goat petting, live music by Halfmoon Jug Band, face painting, fanciful balloons, food by Dresden Fire Department, and vendors with local items for sale.
