We had the booth all set up and ready for customers before 8:30.
Since we were located right next to the capitol, I took off for a few pictures before the crowd came.
The blacksmith is resting up before the crowd came. It was an extremely hot day to be pounding on iron with the 90 degree temperatures and the high humidity.
Do you see Lewis and Clark?
I thought this was a cool picture. How many blacksmiths have hammered this close to the capitol?
Here he is working away.
The festival just wore Ms E out. But not until she had her faced painted for the occasion!

Great pictures, what a fun day! And I bet just a little exhausting in that heat.
You were probably right about not many blacksmiths having hammered that close to the capitol, but I'm sure there have been plenty of legislators that have gotten hammered there ! Jim H.
Love that big checkerboard!
I can relate to the sleeping princess. I have had 5 shows back to back in the heat... and the rain and last week, a mini twister. What a life!
We thought about you guys on the 4th. Looks like a wonderful, fun day. I've always loved events we've had at the Capitol (one year it was fiddling, another year it was the blacksmith).. it's a beautiful place! Great pics!! -Tammy
Patti, Love the photo of the blacksmith plying his craft in front of the capital building (which is a beauty!) even though it must have been a hot day for him.
