    This is a reconstruction on the 1700s cabin of the Davidson family who first farmed this area. Inside a couple of ladies were demonstrating cooking techniques of the period, including a spitchcocked chicken. Who can tell me what that is?

    This strings workshop was going on in a clan tent.



    And now the moment you've all been waiting for. Eric Frasure of Greenville, NC set a world record in the sheaf toss. He sent it over the bar which was set at 36 feet 1 inch. Here's the winning toss:
