Potluck is the same as with other membership meetings.\n\nHot (and golden) stuff will be happening at the annual Hammer-In taking place at the Nowthen Threshing Show grounds Blacksmith Shop. The blind forging competition will return on Saturday afternoon. The goal will be a friendly forge off. \nBlind forging competition rules:\n\nAn object is placed inside a box\, and you must create (forge) the unknown object by what you can feel. No peeking!\nWe usually do a time limit with this as well.\nPrizes to be announced!\n\nWe will focus our efforts on the Fall Conference contest item\, A Towel Holder. Camping on-site is available Friday and Saturday night on primitive sites. Port-a-potties on site. Five forges are open for use. Coal will be provided. If you want to bring your own equipment\, please do! Bring any examples you want to share with others. Bring your own tools if you have them. Some limited steel stock is available\, but if you need specific sizes\, feel free to bring your own steel. Scrap pieces ok. \nThis event will hopefully give you some inspiration to help you to come up with your own design for the Fall Conference theme contest\, Towel Holder\, and help you learn how to make it. If you don’t know how to make something\, ask ahead of time\, and we will try very hard to accommodate. \n— Wayne Olson\, 320-280-0100 \nMap to Nowthen
