4th Annual Homesteading Weekend (IL)

Paul and I will be hosting our 4th Annual Homesteaders Weekend this summer. (always the weekend after Father's Day.)

Although it is not limited to HT members, we sure do get plenty of HT folks.

It's June 21 & 22 this year.

We do have a 'dry' farm - no alcohol please. With 2 teen sons, it's just easier that way.

We also ask that no one brings their dogs. (With exception of Pony's Bud D Dawg, who has been here enough that he's one of the pack.)

We have no plans for activities yet this year. We are always open for suggestions.

Hopefully we will have sun this year and try out Pony's solar oven. Blacksmithing, farming with horses, fiber (spinning, knitting, et al), soap making, ????

Who's planning on coming this year?

Demonstrations you'll be bringing with you?

Demonstrations you want to see?

I plan to be there! I can teach knitting or help with patterns (some, anyhow). Might bring my wheel. I'll leave my dog and 5 cats at home.

Most excellent!

I'm sure Pony & Nick, CloverBud & entourage, NDUETIME & entourage. Slev will try to make it. Dave & Bill & Sharon (sorry, can't think of screen name now).

There will also be a portable solar-powered generator either Sat or Sun

Plus a Book Exchange!

Folks are PMing us about this so I'm bumping it up.

Only a month to go.

Rain or Shine (but we prefer Shine so we can use the solar oven!)
