FORT LOUDOUN STATE PARK 18th CENTURY TRADE FAIRE











This past weekend, Svitlana, Lydia and I attended the 18th Century Trade Faire at Fort Loudoun State Park in Vonore. It was a very interesting event. We met "Daniel Boone" of Kentucky. Lydia learned about spinning yarn. Svitlana got some pointers from a hunter. I met a slate tombstone carver. A few pictures from our day at the faire are shown above.
