Re: Trade Fair

I don't recall when we got our registration, but I talked to Terry, I think
on Tuesday, and he said they had it.
We are staying in Pipestone. Hope to see all of you there.

Re: Stain for my wood tower

When I was in high school (many moons ago) I was a fur trapper. I used black walnut hulls to dye my traps. It made a vary good black dye, better than anything I could buy, it kept the traps from rusting.
