SUMMARY:Volunteer Op: Minnesota Zoo's Farm Babies 2024-Days 3 and 4 of 8
DESCRIPTION:We have been invited back to demonstrate at the MN Zoo for four weekends in April and May at the MN Zoo’s Farm Babies event.  This is a venue we have demonstrated at before\, and it is a really great setup.  \nThe demonstrations are April 27th\, 28th\, May 4th\, 5th\, 11th\, 12th\, 18th and 19th.  The coal is provided\, and we will have two and perhaps three forges set up.  All you need is your hammer and some stock.  You do not need to come all weekends or even all day.   First time demonstrators are welcome and encouraged.  \nIf you are interested\, please contact Rick Wessling.  rgwessling@gmail.com.  We will need to coordinate who is coming and what days\, so we do not have everyone at the same time.  Looking forward to being back at this great venue.

SUMMARY:Saint Clement's Feast Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Not sure what to do in the gap between The Madness and the Christmas party?\nCome Celebrate St. Clement’s Feast Day with Beer and Blacksmiths!\nObserved On Saturday\, 19 November 2022\nHosted by Torg Brewery and The Guild of Metalsmiths\nSt. Clement is (one of) the patron saint of blacksmiths and metalworkers. His feast day was a rare day off for these metal artisans when their toils at the forge was replaced by food and drink\, and the noise of the shop was replaced by the (one must assume off-tune) singing and toasting in pubs. Whether you are a smith or not\, come join us as we celebrate this heritage!\nWhere: 8421 University Avenue NE\, Spring Lake Park\, MN 55432\nWhen: The brewery is open 1PM to 11PM. Show up any time in there and look for blacksmiths. We should be easy to spot.\n· First drink is free for Guild members!\n· Bring potluck food/snacks suitable for a grazing Feast of St. Clement!\n· Bring show and tell items to impress your fellow Guilders and the non-smithing public!\n· Play Bocce Anvil (if I can repair them in time) and Pinch the Devil’s Nose!\n· If we are lucky Old Clem might even grace us with his presence!\nQuestions? Contact Martin Pansch\, 612-599-4762\, blacksmithingyeti@gmail.com
