Hammer-In 2023

Hammer-In 2023 was a success. The weather was great with a little rain very early Sunday morning. Friday's Anvil Stew was served at 5:30 with a variety of salads and deserts brought for the food contest.

A large number of items were on display ready for the auction on Saturday evening. There were several forged picture frames entered into Gallery Contest and a few display items along with many registration pieces for the raffle and several items inthe Craft Contest.
