Met some of you at the Pomme de Terre Rendev. in May. Interested in visiting the Fort gardens. When is your Winter Rendev in 2014 and your end of November gathering?
Dave and Elaine: Just updated the Fort Events page. We are usually at the bake oven or in the garden at the FdC November Rendezvous. Additionally, our band of friends reside in the Fort environs Thanksgiving Weekend each year. This year we are planning to be in residence cooking at the hearth, baking in the bake oven, period shooting contests, and lets not forget singing, Saturday and Sunday, November 29 and thru mid-afternoon on November 30. Looking forward to crossing paths once again. Carol
