Good old-fashioned fun: Folk Arts Fair to recreate settings, pastimes, foods of 1800s Prescott

Matt Hinshaw/The Daily Courier
Sharlot Hall volunteer Bob Dennis shows Daniel Chaffin, 10, how to pan for gold June 4, 2011, during the Sharlot Hall Folk Arts Fair in downtown Prescott. This year�s event is 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this weekend.

Tatting. Cornhusk dolls. Tinsmithing. Basket-weaving. Sheep-shearing. Cloth-making and dying. Vintage military hardware. Exploratorium for kids. Candle-dipping. Panning for gold. The whir of old engines. Music, and plenty of it. Barnyard animals. Dutch-oven biscuits and honey to tempt the palate.

All this and more add up to a glimpse of what the "village of Prescott" was like in the 1800s, and visitors will be able to relive those experiences during the Sharlot Hall Museum Folk Arts Fair this Saturday and Sunday.

Reader Poll
What do you think of the Prescott City Council's proposal to impose library user fees. Please select one:
	Libraries are supposed to be a resource freely accessible to all.
	The proposed $10-per-year fee is reasonable to help offset costs.
	It would set a dangerous precedent, and the fees will only get higher.
