Country music festival

Hey all

This is a post about what I did this weekend, I spend all of Saturday and Sunday morning helping out with the scout catering tent at the country music festival near Calne.
The scouts used to do the catering there every year for about 20 years, then 4 years ago we stopped, the leader who was normally in charge left scouting, so after a 4 year break we had to go back and try to regain our old reputation, but unfortunattly we didn't know exactly what we used to do, so we changed the menu to chillie with jacket potatoes or rice, naturally we also did our standard burgers and sausages and the likes, I personally think the weekend went well, costumers we slow comeing but being a first year you do tend to expect a worse year then normal.
The festival it self was great, they did say that foot fall through the door and ticket sales were down from previous years due to the economic downturn, being a country music festival there were cowboys and indians (I like indians, I could deffinatly see me dressed in skins and with a tomahawk on my side), also there was music and stalls from that era.
I brought a loverly ornamental skinning knife with a painted blade and an antla/ bone style painted handle and I also got a pipe hawk which is a tomahawk with a pipe in the back and you smoke through the handle, it came with a fur handle sheath with a leather belt loop, the leaders had a great joke when they saw me walking back acroos the field after my break in my bush hat with a tomahawk on my side, all in good humour :) Both items are going to go up on my wall with my other ornamental weapons.
I enjoyed the weekend and I think we will as a scout group go down and help again next year, I personally will be down the festival just for the fun of it.

Stay Safe
God bless
