On March 15th, the Templeton historical museum will be holding the first annual Blacksmith Contest & Art Show, as well as a chili cook-off.
Half of the event will display the unique skills of blacksmithing as an art, featuring smiths from across the state of California.
The day’s events start at 8 am, and goes until 4:30 pm. As the smiths hammer away at the forge, the historical museum will also be holding a chili cook-off.
The smithing competition also commemorates the opening of a six-week hand-forged sculpture exhibit at the historical museum.
Volunteers for the event, and participants for the chili-cook off and blind forging battle are still open.
