"Cowboys, Hero's and Outlaws"
In an effort to “get on with life" after AJ's passing and keep everything as normal as possible, I continue to volunteer.
On Saturday June 3rd, I volunteered at Olivas Adobe Historical Park helping out at the booth set up by my Handweavers and Spinners Guild.





It is an annual family festival called "Cowboys, Hero's and Outlaws". This festival is fun for the entire family. Many local groups, guilds, and volunteers come out to give demonstrations, and offer some hands on experiences for kids of all ages.

Some of the festivities included









authentic cultural dance demonstrations,








woodcarving demonstrations,
so many amazing woodcarvings....


















and wood toys....






and so much more.

Kids of all ages could participate and learn how to do many of the skills and crafts that were common in the early 1900’s -


Such as; rug beating,

















butter churning,














tortilla making,




and of course weaving,














and spinning yarn from hand carded fiber.











Fun was had by all. I can’t wait to volunteer again next year.
