Images from Past Events - The Medina Apple Festival 2003

Dr. Louis Vannatter was the pastor at Melissa and I's wedding this Spring. When we told him about our buckskinning hobby, he asked if we could give a demonstration of Mountain Man skills at the Medina Apple Festival. We brought along Smoke-In-Face and Ogg for the event. At the end of the day, we had a great time and were really popular with the kids (tomahawks and fire - go figure). Next year we hope to have a lot more skinners out with us.
