May 25, 2006 - Besides good music, the First Annual Spring Swing Festival
featured area crafters. The event was May 6-7 in Quitman at Jim Hogg
Park, where the new Light Crust Doughboys Museum is located.
The festival included seven western swing bands, including the Light
Crust Doughboys; plus an old-time western shoot-out, and other entertaining
features.
| Lonnie Robinson of Rowlett heats a piece
of metal before placing it on his anvil. He demonstrated
the techniques used to create “Art From the Forge.” Robinson
had several of his works on display at the festival. His
wife Linda, and 9-year-old son Jodie attended the event,
too. Robinson said he learned the trade in 1963 while working
as an apprentice in Kentucky. Now, he teaches a beginners’ “Flicker
to Flame” class on an individual, or two-person,
basis at his Rowlett home. Details of his class, and art
work, are online at wagonwheelforge.com. |
