Repair days and other fun events at the Metal Museum this weekend

Eating lunch as I post this… today’s lunch is a Big Mac combo meal.  Just had to mention that in case my health guru AL is reading.  “Do you want to upsize it to large?” they asked.  Does a fish like water?

If you have metalwork you need repaired, this weekend is your chance… Repair Days will be this weekend, October 9-11 at the Metal Museum. Metalsmiths from around the country will be on hand to solder, sharpen, fix dings, remove dents, re-tin cookware, and repair garden furniture. Estimates for repair work are free, and all proceeds benefit the Metal Museum. Visitors with repair receipts receive free admission to the museum during the event.

In addition to repairs, there will be other fun stuff going on at the museum all weekend. Friday at 7, there will be a Master Metalsmith Demonstration. Saturday will be Family Fun Day, with casting, jewelry making, and blacksmithing demos. In the evening, there will be a gallery talk with Master Metalsmith Elizabeth Brim, a live auction, and music by DJ Witnesse. Elizabeth Brim will be back Sunday morning for a tech talk.

Plans for tonight:  Trivia at the Saucer at 7.  The team has been smaller lately but I kinda like it that way… seems like 8-10 people is ideal.   Got several more posts in the queue, so check back.
