We had a great day of teaching and blacksmithing, surrounded by the General and Mrs. Robert E. Lee, Clara Barton, Colonel Mosby, and lots of engaged visitors. There were wagon rides, kids' toys, educational talks, living history interpreters, wonderful music, and delicious food. It was great fun.

Our friend, Vince, was able to join us for the day and we set up two anvils (along with the kids' anvil) so we always had something going on to show our guests.
The guys were quite productive, working on various Civil War-appropriate campfire tripods and utensil sets.
They even did a variation on the usual S-hooks on a utensil set for an interested visitor -- our youngest son was thrilled with this product because he's been making "sideways S-hooks" for quite some time, and now was vindicated that someone who does a lot of outdoor cooking would find them useful!
We even had canine visitors who were interested in what we were doing!
It was such a fun day -- please be on the lookout for the 15th Annual Fairfax Civil War Day. You won't want to miss it! In addition, we'll be at Wye Mills, Maryland next Saturday for the Colonial Fair. Please come and see us!
