Livermore Games - 2008

[walkerk]

Having so many games in Northern California means an opportunity to visit each of the various attractions in turn. This time it was the historical area for me.



A strange, curious structure on wheels!



It's a traveling blacksmith show. ( www.poundiron.com ). Michel hammers iron while his wife Christy enchants with her storytelling. He banged out six fancy twisted S-hooks while she told us the legend of Wicked John an' th' Deil. After the show, the forgings were all given away to the wee ones in the audience.



Knowing some kilted smithies would be interested in his over-apron, Michel posed for a close-up.



It's a clever merging of chain mail and metal fishing lures.

This charming lass was sporting the Irish National.



Aye, but show us your pleats!



After a long day in the sun, it was time to enjoy the show.



When Wicked Tinkers, Tempest, and Molly's Revenge take to the stage together it's a raucous good time.



Wore scroonchy socks the day. Now my calves are sunburned!
