Now let’s head over to the Pre-1840 Encampment Area. Where we will meet Pat,Dee,Gus and Linda.

I thought the young woman throwing the tomahawk was pretty cute,but I wasn’t going to get “fresh.”

Gus and Linda invited us to take a look inside their Tipi .Looks pretty comfortable to me.

“Modern tipi covers are usually made of canvas. Contemporary users of tipis include historical reenactors, back-to-the-land devotees, and Native American families attending Powwows or Encampments who wish to preserve and pass on a part of their heritage and tradition.” (thanks wikipedia) I wonder could a little rain come in the top of that Tipi?

My suggestion for lunch would be the homemade vegetable soup in the bread bowl or the barbecued chicken. All cooked over “open fire”

Love going to festivals with free tastings. I've been known to taste every single type of dip available before making my purchase.

I would love to go to one with reenactments someday.

Looks like great time, I love these festivals. I just love that canoe bear how cute. Is he for sale? Thanks for sharing.

I agree about canoe bear -- I would like to take it home with me!

What a fun event! We have re-enactments at Fort Vancouver several times a year. I just went to one with lanterns at night. They will have a special one at Thanksgiving and Christmas too.

Oh, that looks like so much fun, and I can tell you had a good time. I'm going to be in Columbus for a day or two in a couple of weeks, but it won't be as interesting as this!

That looks like an amazing place! Sorry about the hornets in your yard. Those are nasty beggers. And even worse because they burrough in the ground, often finding them once you've stepped in the nest - ACK!
