Hi, I'm looking to find someone who is willing to blacksmith at the annual Village Noel Temiskaming November 20th - 22nd this year. The event is an outdoor artisan's market at the fair grounds in New Liskeard, with the theme of a New France Village, and we were hoping to find a blacksmith who would be willing to demonstrate their craft, and give them an opportunity to sell their wares.

March break - Maple Syrup Festival in Aylmer, Ontario

Jennifer McDaniel — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 14:25:37 +0000

We have a Maple Syrup Festival at our conservation area (Aylmer, ON) every year and we are looking to bring more families out. I have always enjoyed seeing blacksmiths at festivals and thought a blacksmith would be a good fit for our festival.
If this is something you do, I am just looking for pricing, availability for any day between Saturday, March 8 - Sunday, March 16, and what space you would need or any other information we would need. The festival is mostly held outdoors with lots of places that might work. Please let me know if this is something you could do.
