It’s that time of year again. The event is this Thursday 12-4-25. I’m upping my game a bit more this year. Actually quite a bit, but not all of it is firewood related. I’ll be adding two more, but shorter, feed bunk style fire pits. One on either side of the longer and decorative one that I had last year. The new short ones will not have the decorative cut outs. ( not enough time left). Also new this year will be chimney logs in the feed bunks, with packets of colored flames in each chimney. 3 chimney logs in each short bunk and 5 in the longer one. A couple pictures from this afternoon getting ready. Getting some wood split and loaded. Hackberry, cedar, and pine. Using up a bunch of rounds that have been around too long. Some of it is past their prime but it’ll be fine for outdoor fires. And a picture of the chimney logs. temp was in the teens but with a fire going and staying busy it was actually pretty enjoyable Setting the down town on fire Setting the downtown on fire…part 2 Setting the downtown on fire, #3
Oh….!! And as far as upping my game without firewood. I built a 8x11 structure covered in old corrugated tin that I will be making and selling cotton candy out of. Coleman lanterns for light and heat. not exactly sure how I’m gonna manage making cotton candy and tending all the fires at the same time. But I reckon I’ll figure it out.
Best of luck!! With 3 of these in the bag, has anyone come forward offering to assist with supplying firewood?
Sandhillbilly when they told you 4 years ago "the job is yours" they weren't fooling around were they? Looks like yet another great event this year! It would be nice to experience it in person, with an armful of firewood to help out. Good on you for doing this!
