Information from the Sauder Village Website:
- Rising from the cornfields of rural, northwest Ohio is Sauder Village…a remarkable destination offering guests experiences rich in history, hospitality, creativity and fun.
- Step out of today's fast-paced world and into Historic Sauder Village, to experience the daily lives of our hard-working ancestors. Visit with costumed guides and working craftsmen as you stroll through 40 historic buildings and shops. Discover how families lived in the Black Swamp more than 100 years ago and marvel at craftsmen blending skill and creativity in glass, metals, fabric, wood and clay.
- Enjoy plenty of shopping at the General Store, Quilt Shop, Gift Shop and the Sauder Store & Outlet. Make time to enjoy a scrumptious, home-style meal at the Barn Restaurant, homemade goodies from the Doughbox Bakery, and the warmth of genuine old-fashioned hospitality!
The Barn is part of Sauder Village. We'll enjoy a buffet lunch. Cost of this is included in your registration fee.
Information from the Spangler Candy World Website:
- Theater - Enter our theater to experience a life-size tour of our factory on a huge screen. Viewers will see close-up details of the candy-making process in a sensory experience that brings the tour to life. Our movie will educate AND entertain as an important candy maker goes missing. Help us find him!
- Interactive Games - Our games provide age-appropriate, challenging, fun, and safe ways to experience and understand the candy-making process.
