War Eagle


It was a little frosty on Thursday morning as the War Eagle Craft Fair got started. Margot, Theresa and Sue had left even earlier so they would be sure to arrive before "all the good stuff was gone".










These first two pictures are from the highway along the bluff along War Eagle Creek just before it drops down into the valley. The cattle were getting some moisture from the dew and frost along with the grass as they grazed. (Click to enlarge.)




This was my first time to the fair but I understand these are new structures replacing the large tents used in years past. There were a lot of people there even this early. 

Greg, Bob and I left the fair about 10:30 and there was a long line of cars backed up to where I took the previous pictures. A hour and a half earlier we had cruised right in.

The mill and the bridge. The bridge was built in the early 1900s. It is one way and today it alternated between cars in each direction and foot traffic in both directions.

Here are a few pictures of the mill from an earlier post. War Eagle Mill in 2015
