geeked - nerdy excitement; enthusiasm; anticipation; looking forward [to an upcoming event]. Well, you get the picture.
I haven't been to the Rendezvous in a few years. However, there will be bow making (mostly osage selfbow) demonstrations including steaming, applying snakeskins, sinew backing, and tillering to name a few. Anyone is invited/encouraged to pull up a bench and create wood shavings.
A course will be set up. They don't score however, on this one. No pressure, it's just for fun! The only hitch is that you must shoot a primitive type bow. No fiberglass or wheelie bows. There will likely be flint knappers & buckskins. In the past we've seen blacksmiths and atlatls. Some people trade some of their handcrafted items. Of course, there's always plenty of campfires to visit. The campgrounds are a nice escape from the hustle of modern day civilization. A great place to bring or escape the family!
