u CRAWFORD County u As one of the largest trading reenactments in the Midwest with over 400 lodges, visitors can visit and observe skilled craftpersons as they demonstrate spinning yarn, woodcarving, basket weaving, pottery making and beading. Period black powder rifles, clothing, hats, and beads are just a few of the many items you can purchase. As you stroll through the Rendezvous, you’ll smell the aromas coming from the buckskinners’ lodges where meals of venison stew, dumplings, fry bread, and kettles of coffee are prepared over an open fire. The Jaycees, cosponsors with the Big River Long Rifles, are cooking their popular buffalo burgers for everyone to enjoy. Fry bread, Indian tacos, root beer, sarsaparilla, caramel corn, and other foods characteristic to the 1840s are also available for you and your family to enjoy. Registered participants will compete in flint and steel fire starting, black powder shooting, hawk and knife throw, bull whip, and women’s and children’s games.
