Evening Programs:
I attended a few years ago and had a great time. Hopefully I'll be able to take some nice pictures this time.
The craziest part of the event was the sound of hundreds of people flintknapping. I can't think of how to describe it... was a constant presence in the background. Truly amazing. Attending is free. You only have to pay if you want to participate in the workshops.
Last time I took home a selfmade bow and arrow, as well as an atlatl and river-cane blowgun with honey locust/thistle darts.
Had a great time.
Hope to see some of you there. I'll be in "official" capacity, wrangling a dozen-and-a-half Boy Scouts, but otherwise having a swell time.
