Since this is the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service, Capitol Reef hosted a Harvest Celebration at the Gifford House and barn. Starting about noon they had food booths, lemonade and fresh pressed apple juice. A collection of booths showed how some things were done in the early 1900’s such as cattle branding, turning wool into clothing, crocheting, quilting and broom making. Two authors were signing books and several musicians kept us all entertained. Late afternoon the park employees put on a Jazz concert. Most of the musicians had their Ranger uniforms on. Then there was a Barn Dance but we elected to enjoy a campfire instead of dancing.
Earlier today John and I took a hike back up Fremont River. This is the same one I hiked earlier this week. It’s still a good hike.
