Goschenhoppen Folk Festival

This is one of the great festivals around. They have crafts and trades there that you will not see elsewhere. Everyone dresses in period clothing and all demonstrations are done with authentic antique tools. They butcher a pig-dress it-make about everything you can make from a pig: scrapple,sausage, cracklins, bacon, hams,etc.

They have cigar making, wheel wrights, tombstone and stone cutting, German Bird Trees, cooking on open fires Eighteenth century) and cooking with wood stoves for the 19 th.

Please note two exceptional open fire cooks-Peggy and Kate. This is truly, "slaving over a fire"! They make apple and corn fritters,which are delicious-but how can they not be-cooked in lard.
