[Blacksmithing] free trip to Old Sturbridge village

[Sebastian James Bertsch]

Hello fellow strikers of iron,

Here is the information for a trip coming up...

FiCom is funding a trip to Old Sturbridge Village, a living history museum with
costumed interpreters showing aspects of life in a rural 1830's New England
Village. Presented subjects include: Sustainable agricultural systems, low
carbon food storage, blacksmithing, water powered manufacturing technology,
metal working technologies, textile production (both small scale and factory
based), localized monetary and trade systems, and many more. The trip will be
on Friday October 23rd, leaving Hampshire at 9 AM, and returning to campus by
6:30 PM. The village typically has a $20 entrance fee, but this trip is free to
all students, funded through the Blacksmith Guild, the Glass Collective, the
Knitting and Crafting Club, and the Historical Reenactment Society. Travel will
be by charter school bus, which means attendance is limited to 46 students. If
you are interested in attending this trip, or want more information, contact
Sjb08. Space is limited, so reserve your seat. Visit OSV.org

And more specifically, some awesome blacksmithing. I really recommend this place
for all of you guys. All the smiths are skilled, and also really knowledgeable
about their history. If you wanna go, just email me and say so. And also,
spread the word. There are 46 seats, and we want them filled.
