All current State and Federal Covid-19 protocols will be followed.

We encourage everyone with an interest in blacksmithing, the metal arts, etc., to come to the Hammer-in at Roaring Camp.  It will be open to the public for viewing; everyone will be able to watch as our demonstrators push the boundaries of hot metal, bring ancient techniques to life, and share with the larger community their talent and dedication to the blacksmith’s craft.  However, only CBA members who pay the registration fee may work at the anvils and forges
