More Forks Heritage Days

Cider Pressing at the Timber Museum



Adding the apples to the hopper.
Cranking the apple chopper.

The man to the right sells produce at the Open Aire Market. I wish I knew his name. I think he provided some of the apples.
Winding the screw on the cider press.
Mmmmmm. Fresh pressed cider.

Forks Heritage Days Market



The Annual Forks Heritage Days were going on last week. There were activities most days in different parts of town. The Department of Natural Resources was also having its 50th anniversary as part of Heritage Days.
We weren't able to make most of the activities; but, since we enjoy the Open Aire Markets during the summer, we went to the one they held at the Timber Museum. The sign demonstrates the rain we were having that day.
There were several sellers that braved the rain, including our favorite doll and doll clothes maker. One seller has some delicious-looking baked goods, though we passed those by - quickly.
There are a lot of true artists in this community, using a variety of media - fabric, glass, wood, photography, and more. It's a fun market, with people that we enjoy talking to.
More photos tomorrow.
