NVFCP had a booth at Smokey the Bear's 80th birthday celebration at the visitor's gateway at Mount Charleston. During set up and the first hour and a half or so we had great sunny weather with a light breeze. By 11am the sky was black, winds were whipping, and there was thunder and lightening. We packed up earlier than we had hoped. The fire engine left early as well but it went to put out two lightening caused fires on the mountain.
We had a great time singing Happy Birthday, eating cupcakes, and visiting with folks on the Mountain. At our booth, kids learned about manos and metates and pine nuts, and were sent home with archaeology related activity books. Adults learned about online reporting, the importance of leaving artifacts in context, and the educational opportunities we provide.
