A free blacksmithing demonstration will be held at the Landmark Center this Saturday, Sept. 13 from 12-4 p.m. Please join N.Y. Mills Bladesmith Jerry Hobbs as he performs step by step creation of a forged damascus steel knife and leather sheath. Samples from different stages will help show the involved process and craftsmanship needed to create this artistic layered steel. 

Some of you may have met artist Beth Howard in mid-June and seen the premier screening of her documentary film, “PIEOWA, a piece of America.” The film will be shown again, free screening, as part of the Whiskey Creek Film Festival at the Cozy Theater in Wadena on Saturday, Sept.13 at 5:15 p.m.
