Hot Iron Rendezvous

Whether you pound it or cook in it this is the event for Hot Iron.  This teaching/learning rendezvous features dutch oven cooking and blacksmithing.

The first Hot Iron Rendezvous was held October 9-11 2009.  In spite of cold and wet weather, there were ten camps plus numerous day visitors.  Four forges were set up and put to use for the entire weekend.  With all the dutch ovens going there was a fine feed at the end of the day on Saturday.

The event was considered to be a success and Hot Iron III is planned in 2012 for October 5-7.  Here is a flier for this years event.  If you are interested in learning, or have skills you want to share, plan on being there.
