Uri Hoffi's demo was well attended, as always.

Northern Virginia, April 15
What is it about drizzly mornings that makes it so hard to get
up? The urge to just roll over and go back to sleep is SO hard to
resist. But when you're at the BGOP Spring Fling, that's not an
option. In fact, it didn't even occur to me! (grin)
Yes, it drizzled most of the day saturday, and it rained on Sunday, but the rain didn't dampen anyone's spirits! The demonstration tents were crowded, the demonstrators were great!

The food was good, the Iron in the Hat never ceases to
amaze me.
There were at LEAST 8 tables FULL of items donated. My
wife keeps me on a strict budget when it comes to buying tickets,
and it's a good thing she does!
I think the tail gate area was even bigger than last year! I did a quick walk through, and counted 55 anvils sitting out in the open. I'm sure there were more that hadn't been un-packed yet. Swage blocks of all kinds, five or six cone mandrels, you name it, if it could be used in a smithy, it was there. I could have easily fitted out and set up a dozen shops, just from the back of the Steve Kayne and family van! |
