By Dick Smith BGCM’S 17TH Annual Blacksmith Days is now history and by all measures, it was a resounding success. The event set an attendance record, with a total of 180 registered attendees. In addition, many more from the general public entered through the Farm Museum after noon on Saturday and Sunday; spent time watching the demonstrators, and asked lots of questions. The Carroll County Times did a very nice front-page article, complete with pictures of the demonstrators at work in their home shop. The event was also featured in the Washington Post’s Weekender, The Frederick News Post, The Baltimore See Blacksmith Days Page 4 |
