If you’re still on the hunt for the perfect Father’s Day activity, here’s an idea out of left field.
Shaker Village, the 3,000-acre National Historic Landmark in Harrodsburg, is hosting a Vintage Dad’s Day celebration this Saturday, June 15, 12-4 p.m. Here’s some of the highlights:
- A classic car and tractor show
- A cigar lounge — learn how to cut and light a cigar and what to pair it with
- Bourbon tastings from Wilderness Trail Distillery
- Vintage tool displays with tool historian Calvin Shewmaker
But the homerun event of the day is at 1 p.m.: a historical baseball game between the Cincinnati Red Stockings and the Bluegrass Barons. The game will use the rules as they were 150 years ago. These vintage teams play with period-reproduction equipment and uniforms to take fans back to the dawn of the game. The biggest difference in rules? No gloves — ouch.
