Is this a all day event Saturday I'd like to take my son but we have something we have to do in the morning.

Yes, it is an all day event on Saturday. However, feel free to drop in at any time. There will be classes and hands on demos throughout the day and into the early evening. On Sunday morning after breakfast, all the trap lines will be ran and the traps pulled at the conclusion.
All the folks that put on the demos are true craftsmen of this profession and heritage. They will talk, explain, show and let you take part in each demonstration that each of these fur harvesters put on during this event. This is truly a great event not only with the knowledge that is shared but with the new friends that will be made. The kids absolutely love the comradery as well.
