Smithsonian Institution's 1999 Folklife Festival

On Friday, in addition to the exhibits by New Hampshire-ites, Romanians, and South Africans, we got to view the politicians on parade, accompanied by their Secret Service escorts, cleverly disguised in suits, ties and sunglasses.


In addition, Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert and his wife stopped by the Guild tent. He's interested in building a post and beam house, and we obliged with information. From left: John Miller, the Speaker, Joel McCarty, Donna Williams, and Bob Smith (kneeling).


Long-time Guild members and supporters are Judy and Scott Northcott of Walpole, NH, who donate the pegs for Guild projects. Here, Scott stands on the covered bridge decking next to the trunnels he made for the project.
