Good times at our annual Christmas Gala. We had our first silent auction for items donated by Guild members. Our usual Iron on the Hat raffle featured a large number of donated items including five $100 gift certificates from Blacksmith Supply. John Elliot was on site with items for sale. And we had a visit from Santa Claus Good food. Good folks. Good times. 🙂

I have apparently misplaced my post vice in the move between houses and storage. If anyone has a post vice for sale or comes across one for sale please let me know. Thanks Scott Hill
