Note to anyone coming - cell service is iffy to poor at the campground so if you need to make a call do it before you get out of Blairsville. I will not be available by phone or internet from 10 am today through Sunday. So...if you need further info on the event call the Campground office.
We are undercover so rain or shine. Travel safely.

Here's what a lot of you missed.
Well, even though it's not a H/F pic, it is about getting kids outside to learn something fun and constructive.
Almost every youngun' in this pic got to hammer out something (a lot of the older "kids" did as well). Some will really surprise you when you see what they can learn/do with just a little instruction.
This is a group pic just before lunch last Sat. Great weather for forging (no bright sun and a little cool). As you can see a great crowd - about 1/3 are first time visitors.

Next event will be Halloween weekend - Oct 28/29.
