Well now fellers I hope to meet some of ya'll there. Like I mentioned, look fer them bright orange suspenders..no one else in their right mind would wear 'em! Also don't be thinking this is just a bunch'a re-enactors portraying historical things. Nosirreeebob! This is about heritage. How'd they make that and how'd they do that? Not just the guns! Making and using leather for common items. How was cloth made/ used? How'd they start a fire with a piece of rock and a little chunk'a steel? Or a wooden bow? Can a handfull'a weeds actually be transformed into rope? You betch'a! Who figgered out fat and lye (made from common hardwood ashes) will make soap? And bring them young'uns! They'll be just amazed to see what all goes on! And the wimminfolks as well! Mind ye 99% of the folks attending won't be dressed in "ole-timey" clothes. That's not what this Gun Fair is all about. This ain't no rondevouse. It's a Fair concerned with educating and sharing some old time skills and knowledge. And it's free! C'mon down ya'll! Audie..the oldfart!
