We had a YM/YW activity at Cove Fort yesterday during the annual Cove Fort Days and I think it has to be the best time of year to visit Cove Fort. Besides the regular tours of the Fort (given this weekend by a team of missionaries dressed a pioneers), there were people discussing and displaying pioneer handicrafts and work. There were: a blacksmith working on metal, a farmer harvesting hay with his horse-drawn hay tool, women quilting (both on quilting frames and lap quilting), women making rag rugs on looms, an herbalist, a potter (who had made the pottery at Cove Fort), a lace maker, a wood carver, a bee keeper, a man cooking outdoors on dutch ovens, a sawyer, some fancy chickens to pet, and teamsters giving rides for all in a stage coach or wagon. There were pioneer games, continuous entertainment and free food. The weather was great. We had a small turn-out but everyone got along well and I think everyone enjoyed the day.
Quirks and all, it was good fun!

I'm loving that the B family makes up so much of the youth program! It sounds like a fun activity.
