Event with vendors and educators featuring crafts and skills from the 1700s. Our geology group will build a iron furnace (bloom furnace)
I am interested in suggestions but here are the ones we are looking at so far. Herbs, spices and medicinal plants, leatherwork, gourds, basket weaving, bee keeping ,baking, cloth weaving/quilting, blacksmithing, knife making, art, stoneware, musical instruments,muzzloading firearms, butcher shop (we will do modern, so freezers with local farmers with USDA meats), fur traders, story telling, period appropriate music/clothing, soap, candles, and flint knapping. if interested in attending...save the date. If interested in setting up a booth, please send me a message. I will post the growing list of expected participants/crafts . Booths will be free but we will limit the number of vendors per craft, so as not to dilute sales. Sell things you make beforehand, but everyone is expected to be demonstrating their craft or at least be able to talk to people about it. Period clothing will be fun but not required. Day two (31st will start after Church, yes they hold church there) and end earlier so 12:30-4.
