The 31st annual Kelsey Creek Farm Fair on Saturday, Oct. 12, will provide an opportunity for youth and adults to celebrate the season at the historic Bellevue farm.

The event, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., will include tractor-pulled wagon rides by NW Vintage Tractor Clubs, heritage demonstrations by the Eastside Heritage Center, and live entertainment by Cowboy Buck, along with pumpkin decorating, barnyard animals, pony rides and inflatables. Admission is free, though costs vary for some activities.

Free parking and free shuttles will run from Bannerwood Sports Park, 1630 132nd Ave. SE. and the Wilburton park-and-ride, 720 114th Ave. S.E. to Kelsey Creek Farm, 410 130th Place SE. The last shuttle from the event will depart the farm at 4:15 to return to the parking sites.

Kelsey Creek Farm’s history as a farm dates back to 1921 when tree stump-covered land was cleared for what became a popular local family-operated dairy called Twin Valley Farm. The city of Bellevue began purchasing the land for Kelsey Creek Farm in 1968, and the park opened in 1972.

The Farm Fair event began as “Holiday Farm Fair” in the early 1980s.
