YODER, Kan. — Yoder Heritage Day is back on Saturday.
"It's kind of a big family reunion for the Yoder area," said Mervin Fisher with the committee. "We bring people in from all over the U.S. We've had people there from as far as Great Britain."
The events throughout the day let animals from the area shine.
"Here, you don't see very many people farming with horses anymore, but there's a lot of areas in the U.S. where the Amish folks still do farm with horses," Fisher said. "We showcase that with the draft horse plowing in the morning and with horse events all throughout the day."
The event is free to get in and all events are free.
"That's due to our great sponsors," Fisher said. "There's way too many to mention, but they make it so we can run this day for free for those that want to attend and enjoy it."
