Orion Township Barn Daze returns to Friendship Park on September 8th, 2012 from 11a-5a. The annual Orion Township Barn Daze event features a chili cookoff and plenty of family fun! Parking is just $5.

My family had a great time at Orion Township Barn Daze in previous years. Here's a review of one I attended with my kids two years ago:

Orion Township Barn Daze is held at Friendship Park. We loved how big the park was. It really helped from this getting over crowded, and instead was a nice, casual, leisurely event with the family, with LOTS to do for the kids.

The kids enjoyed the gymnastics training centers that had their equipment set up, the free hayride that was about 20 minutes long, the haymaze, the bouncers and much more at Barn Daze. There were train rides and pony rides for the little ones. And, many enjoyed the climbing wall and petting zoo. It was all reasonably priced as well, with most of the activities completely free. And when you were done browsing through the grounds and the vendors, the kids could play at the awesome playground. It was one of those wooden fort style play areas. 

The kids loved the Barn Daze so much, they hoped it was happening again the following day. I had to let them know they would have to wait a whole year.  But, we will definitely be back to visit Friendship Park before then, even if just for the playground!
