It was a good, old-fashioned Swap-Meet-Deerhorn-Style: furniture, tools, liniments, t-shirts, secret seasonings, handcrafted gifts: the basic "what-all's" of backcountry sheds and barns.
There was a serious discussion of swapping an electric people-mover for a mini 4WD Jeep-ette. Rob Deason lugged home a tank and regulators-- with a smile the size of Mother Grundy. Mark Payne almost ran out of BBQ, and Tom Lamb brought down the new state-of-the art chipper-shredder, weekwhackers, chainsaws, and cutters, all just purchased with our FireSafe Council USFS grant. A crowd gathered to admire this candy-store of super-tools.
The Community Association offered DV Antlers, Deerhorn Connected info, directory signups, reflective signs order forms, all neatly arranged and presided over with "g'mornin's, smiles and hello's.
Maybe the best part was just having the time to stop, and talk, and swap stories. Neighbors and friends and newcomers all enjoying a perfect day.
Big Thank-You's to Anne Evosevich and the coordinators, and to Rod and Pam McKinley for opening up their property for this event.
