Busy days at Pricketts Fort ahead of the annual Fall Festival scheduled for this weekend. A mountain of newly-split hardwood has stacked inside the fort; corn shocks erected, brought in the from the field outside the palisade; pumpkins, squash, gourds, beans & corn hung up inside the storehouse, brass kettles scrubbed and set up over firepits, soon to be steaming with apple butter.
Among the re-enactors on their way to the fort for the weekend are Shawnee braves, tomahawk-throwers, apple-butter cooks, a soap-maker, candle-maker, tinsmith, blacksmith & a crotchety old farmer.
So come one, come all. The festival commences this Saturday, October 10 & 11, 2009, from 10 -4:30 on Saturday and 12 – 4:30 on Sunday.
