Don't Be An Armchair Smith!! Stand and Participate 

The Normanskill farm is setting up an educational program in conjunction with local schools and needs artifact's, tools and materials for this worthwhile endeavor. Patrick Grossi (Founding member of CDBA) was assisting with this program when he passed away. Let's help them out and continue Pat's love of the craft. Admission for this event is a spare hammer, pair of tongs, punches, chisels, hardy tools or some material for forging. Old tools and artifacts of farm life welcome.

Questions like how to donate a power hammer or a large amount of cash---call Andy @ 518-466-0040

Hope to see you there

Andrew VanSchoick

VP CDBA
