They'll be there with their buckskins, their powderhorns and their tinware. Folks in period dress with monikers such as Chauncey, Jededian, Booshway, Eleanor, Bear Legs, Prudence and Huck will demonstrate blacksmithing, cooking, spinning, basket weaving and woodworking, along with a variety of music. All but Huck are re-enactor artisans assuming 19th century pioneer names as they share their talents and creations, such as Intricate needlework and forged metalwork at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum, a restoration of the Hudson's Bay Company trading outpost on Puget Sound. Huck will try to score pelts to make a vest for his high school post-punk revival band, James Buchanan Side Shave.
