I love that my blog readers let me know about what's going on in the community! I've had so many event notices lately, and I really appreciate them.
From Jo (not to be confused with Joe from yesterday) comes a reminder to me - that I'm sharing with all of you - that the Greater Dover Historical Society opens its working blacksmith shop to the public from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the second Saturday of every month through October. That means there's one coming up Aug. 8!
At the shop, pictured above, you can watch smithy Ted Ziegler forge hot steel on the anvil. Items Ziegler makes are for sale during the open houses, and proceeds help defray the cost of materials and support the society.
It's definitely worth checking out. I've been promising Jo to get to one for several months; in this case, I'll be heading out of town that day to visit my father-in-law in Rhode Island, but if I get my packing done early (insert crazy laughter here) I would love to stop up. If not, I've still got September and October!
