Taking a whack at re-enactment

Arguably the biggest draw at David Thompson Days: A Community Rendezvous was the re-enactment camp, which was set up at the Rose Garden along Main Street. Visitors to the camp were sent back to the early 1800s as re-enactors showed them how to make authentic beaded jewelry, how to throw a tomahawk and how to cook with the tools of the day. The camp also displayed a 25-foot-long replica of the canoe David Thompson used to travel the rivers on the area when he was first exploring.
