This is an OUTDOOR event - so dress for the weather! My normal demonstration period is about 4 hours, so expect I will be active in the middle of the posted event hours each day. One of the stranger part of this event is that it is primarily a nightime 'festival of lights' kind of thing. I will be located in the 'Pioneer Encampment' part of the grounds, so working under candle / lamp light. Expect to see a Settlement Era presentation, in terms of costume, equipment and type of work undertaken.
