On Saturday, November 3 we went up to Barberville, Florida to the annual Barberville Jamboree at the Pioneer Settlement for the Preservation of Creative Arts. The complex has an old bridge house, school house, church, depot, working blacksmith shop, print shop, barn, log cabin, wood working shop, pottery house, post office, fire dept., etc. There are people there demonstrating spinning, weaving, candlemaking, wood carving, smithing, pottery, quilting, etc. There are also craft booths set up with crafts for sale, a portable sawmill, Timucan Indian camp site and a Florida cow camp. There are different stages set up throughout the complex as well where musicians perform. The different groups that perform are mainly bluegrass and folk artists. This year one of our favorite groups, the Keili Kids were there. They are a group of young people that range in age from 3 to 18 and play violins.
