Visitors are invited to watch demonstrations of traditional crafts and life skills. Whether its weaving, woodcrafting, apple butter making, spinning, quilting, weaving or basketry, volunteers will pass on the skills that have been passed on to them.
There will be old-timey games, contests and stories, and old-time music. The Warriors Path Muzzle Loaders from Kentucky will set up a pioneer encampment and will have demonstrations of primitive cooking, tomahawk throwing and fire building.
The festival is free, and all events will be held in the park’s open air chapel area, in the field between the pool parking lot and the campground.
