Old Iron Days

Every fall a craft festival is held about an hour from us called Old Iron Days.  It's an old-timey festival held at Maramac Springs State Park showcasing how things were done centuries ago... blacksmithing, glass blowing, basket making, corn brooms, sorghum, etc. It's a fun event to just browse around and talk to the craftsman.   The weather was perfect for the event this year!


Here's Samuel getting a ride on Dada's shoulders...

We also watched sorghum stalks being crushed by a mule to extract the cane juice and then boiled down into molasses…

I also picked up this cute handmade corn broom that a craftsman was making at the festival...





It's a small event, but we have a lot of fun.  It's also at one of the prettiest State Parks we've been to, so we'll definitely keep going back.
