Jack of All Trades: July

Yes, I am already done with July's and I am very happy to be! This month we are celebrating patriotism and all of it's glory! I spent the first part of July 4th, at the Museum of Appalachia. Every year they do an Anvil Shoot. It's a wonderful affair that includes food, activities, and shooting anvils of course. 



Every few hours they sing a patriotic song and sent an anvil flying through the air! It's really a site to see and something you can't believe you just heard. I was not expecting it to be that loud but it was. The Museum has a wonderful restaurant on site and lots of different historic cabins to go look in, learn from, and see what life was like way back when. They had blacksmiths, and a few different ceremonies going through the day. You also do the self guided tour of the museum. 

They ended up having to do things differently this year due to Covid. Usually anyone who has a ticket comes when they want all day and just hangs out for as long as they would like. This year to practice social distancing, they had to limit who got to come in. I was the clicker. Meaning that I had to keep count off all of the people in the cars as the other volunteers were taking tickets. It was very hot. However, there was a lot of shade for me to stand in. 

I did this for 4 hours, and two shooting anvils. 

It was a fun and interesting way to spend the morning of my 4th of July. I am still recovering.
