Crawford Lake, a reconstructed 5th century Iroquian village, is one of our local favorite treasures. This weekend they held an Indian Summer Festival. As well as the village, interactive long houses, hiking trails and lake, there was also story telling, displays, dancing, hemlock tea, corn doll and necklace making.
One of the stories in particular drew the kids in, it was about why the corn doll never has a face. It was about vanity and outward beauty, not a topic they really get (yeah) but the story teller was quiet, speaking intensely, with only them as her audience, which completely engaged them.
We all enjoyed the day.
