March special events...

Whew! We can finally stop and catch our breath for a minute! With all the whirlwind Howard cabin activity, it's been difficult to get a blog post in edgewise!

Today's exciting Log Cabin Village activities:

• The pier holes are being drilled for the Howard cabin's foundation
• The new post for the Foster House sign is being installed. The sign will go up tomorrow!

And we've got great treats for this month's special events, also! We hope to see you here...

TOOLING AROUND...
1:00—4:00 p.m.
Grab your punches and your awls...it’s time to craft leather! Fort Worth’s own Lone Star Leather Crafters Guild will be here demonstrating their fine work and giving Village visitors the chance to stamp a little leather on their own! No reservations required. Cost is regular Village admission. Crafts for this event are generously provided by Tandy Leather Factory.

Signs, signs, everywhere are signs...

...or rather fancy new exhibit text and graphic panels! The signs for the Parker cabin are here and installed! And as you can tell, we are QUITE excited.

With this installation, all of the new interior signage is complete. All that remains are two outdoor signs: the Foster house and the Howard cabin! The Foster panel will be installed within the next couple of weeks, and the Howard panel will be completed AFTER the Howard cabin itself is completed.

Come check it out!
