North Georgia Flintknapping and Primitive Arts Festival

(1/1)

DirtyDan:
If you missed the North Georgia Flintknapping and Primitive Arts Festival, you missed a great time.  Woody Blackwell and other great flintknappers gathered and showed their skills, and 26 vendors displayed outstanding primitve weapons, crafts and art, including bows, spears, blowguns, atlatls, knives, skins, hides, quivers and tons of beautiful points.  We had over 3000 visitors for the four-day event.  The weather was gorgeous, the food vendors from Mobile prepared outstanding food, including crawfish julienne, and huge fried shrimp, and the camping facilities were outstanding.  Put the last weekend in April on your calendar for next year, and come to this outstanding event.  Demonstrations included:  Bow making, arrow making, atlatl throwing, fire-making, traps and snares, hide-tanning and many other skills that everyone would like to know.  Don't miss this event next year.
