It's a mid-summer Hammer-In!
Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 9 AM – 4 PM
You are invited to a Hammer-In/Barbecue fundraiser to benefit the family of our good friend and fellow blacksmith Greg Phillips who recently passed away. Fletcher and Debra Coddington have graciously offered to host the event at their shop, Arrowsmith Forge , in Millbrook, NY. For many years Greg and his family opened their home to us and hosted hammer-ins. They were always generous and welcoming. Let's return their generosity and show our kinship. This is a social event as well as a blacksmihting event so everyone is welcome. Please bring as many family and friends as you like. Te xt Link
