Review of the Fair

Well, there were very few old-time craft set-ups. Actually just me at the blacksmith shop, but there was a pretty good crowd and the people were interested and interesting. The museum board will have to root out craft talent for next year, the old folks that have presented at the fair have aged out or lost interest, but I know there are talented younger people out there who can demonstrate rope-making, soap-making, farrier, roping skills, etc. Actually we did get a semi-promise from Ginny Garrard to bring her spinning wheel up from Austin for next October’s By-Gone Days. The Master Gardeners with their plant sale were the big success – they had nice crowds and many people were pleased with their purchases.
