Living History Day at The Rural Heritage Museum

CWCFC members were demonstrating for the public at this years "Living History Day".

 

 

There were period toys and games...

 

"hands-on" activities for the public such as sewing, embroidery, crochet and tatting...

 

and they were set up just next to the flee circus. How fun is that?

They had so much fun and were kept so busy by the public that they didn't take many picture. Thankfully we have lots of pictures from last year.
