PLUS\, new this year\, enjoy the musical stylings of popular local band Fox and the Dragon! \nWitness our cabinetmaker as he assembles a final resting place—more than just a bed\, it’s a coffin crafted with care for those whose time has come. Inside the blacksmith’s shop\, sparks fly as they forge tools as grim as they are necessary. Experience the somber and chilling atmosphere of an 1830s wake. Be mesmerized by the intricate weave of human hair as strands are crafted into flowers in memory of the dearly departed.
