Lots of Atlatl Enthusiasm at the Ashland Historical Society

Thunderbird Atlatl enjoyed our visit to the Ashland Historical Society this past weekend. Thanks to Ro Martinis and Rose Condon for setting up the event.
The weather was wonderful allowing for outside activities. The morning seminar was a program for elementary students and their parents. In the afternoon, the program was opened up to the community.
Bob Berg discussed atlatl history, demonstrated cordage, flintknapping, fire building and atlatl building. Cheryll Berg demonstrated atlatl casting in the museum’s backyard with wonderful help from Ashland Historical Society volunteers. Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers and for the great hospitality in Ashland. Dominique DePaolo was the photographer for the day and sent along some wonderful photos which we show below.
