The day, sponsored by the Walnut Hill Ruritan Club, featured vendors, live music, food, hay rides, antique vendors, arts and crafts, bounce houses, face painting,  a family magic show and much more.

The one-room log schoolhouse was built around 1880 at a cost of $40. It was flattened by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and rebuilt at its current home next to the Walnut Hill Community Center on Highway 97.
