From the Schiele Museum website:

Tools of Stone
Saturday, August 1, 1 - 3 PM
Type: Public Program

See one of mankind’s oldest industries in action as flint knappers manufacture a variety of flake stone tool-knives, axes, arrow, and spear points.

I attended last year and had a good time. The times posted are for the general public. People started knapping early Saturday morning and ended later in the day. Remember, ABO only. Rick B

Turns out I won't make it. Real estate business has reared it unpredictable head!  >:(  Maybe next year.

I had my truck packed, ready to roll that way this morning.  I got up at 4:50 AM and headed to the shower so I could hit the road by 5:10.  About the time I got lathered up good, the well pump quit.  I had to wait around the house until noon for the pump guy to get here.  He had me back in water before 2 PM.  The Schiele is just over a two hour drive from here to there. Not today. Maybe tomorrow?
