County Fair Legacy Project
We are holding a blacksmithing demonstration where the blacksmiths will display as well as show how metal is forged and made into useful artistic tools and show when this art started. We are having an onsite pottery artist come and demonstrate how pottery is made and what is involved. We will have a local balloon artist come and show her many talents of balloon art as well as a face painter and a henna tattoo artist (which has been around for centuries). Live music from local Minnesota musicians will also be involved in the fun.
We expect to have around 30 people for the garden tour, 60 or so for the live music, 50 people for the blacksmith and pottery show. In the past fairgoers showed a lot of interest for the balloon and caricature artists so we predict 30 to 40 in attendance for those, as well as the face painting and henna tattoos. These activities are free. We measure attendance by making sure every individual has a wristband to attend and have volunteers at each gate to implement this.
