My family has been volunteering at Horne Creek for 5 or 6 years. Last year they were building a new visitors center so the park was closed much of the year.
Today they returned to the annual Corn Shucking event. I demonstrated turn of the century woodworking and talked to a lot of folks about farm life, wood working and even wrote the web site for a couple guys that were interested.
Just to prove it did happen and for your visual pleasure here are a few pics.
I make spoons because the kids can understand it, they go fairly quick compared to other projects and they don't take a lot of wood. I usually give them away and it thrills the kids to get them.
A few old tools for folks to look at.
This guy had a team of oxen that were trained to drag logs out of the woods, he was pretty sharp with his team. When he spoke they paid attention!
