Gathering of winter fire wood supply
Join us as we gather for winter’s fire wood supply. From log splitting to stacking wood. Something for everyone to enjoy and participate in. A necessary part of conservation and preparation, we use the wood to build fires, saving electricity, and enjoy the beauty and warmth it provides, all winter long. We have some tools, but feel free to bring out your favorite Chainsaw and snippers, don’t forget work gloves! We will provide Pizza and Pop at 12pm.
