Rick,
Thanks for reminding me about Faust Park.
The Fall Festival(I liked Octoberfaust better) this year is September 28/29
and will feature 
Frank Turley demonstrating Southwestern ironwork both days in an informal
setting.Admission is still,
I believe, $2.00 a day.There will be several forges set up in addition to
the carriage house with 
  public demonstrations both days. There will be a gallery set up in the
carousel building showcasing
some of Frank's work along with local smith's work.
