On Thin Ice

Kline Creek Farm hosted one of its best annual events, the Ice Harvest, following its role as a living museum of the 1890s. And that time more than a century ago was a time where enterprising people had many modern amenities. Despite the lack of one of our necessities, the refigerator, folks could enjoy a cold drink on July 4 -- if ice had been harvested and preserved.
Upon arrival, all participants found tools and instructors to demonstrate and assist the work. It was a very enjoyable learning experience. We will look at the steps in the project in the next several days.
