Brew

As usual, we are going to have a home brew contest and Tim Seaman will be organizing this event. If you have questions, get in touch with Tim at timseaman@direcway.com. If you are interested, you can register at the conference. If you have beer to be entered in the brewing contest, please have your entry delivered to Tim Seaman by 10 am, Saturday. The actual judging will take place in the gossip tent at between 1 pm and 5 pm on Saturday.

Old Vehicles

We have also had a request to have a classic field vehicle or any kind of classic vehicle show. So far a 1947 Willys, 1969 BMW, 1957 T-bird, 1948 Chief and a 1943 Jeep will be displayed at this Pecos Conference. Get in touch with Tom Windes at tom_windes@nps.gov if you have questions.

Pottery Firing

Eric Blinman will be conducting an experimental pottery firing on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Eric will be testing clay sources from the Pajarito Plateau and environs with hopes of providing more information on the Santa Fe Black-on-white problem. If anyone is interested in firing their pottery, please contact Rory Gauthier ( at 505-672-3861 x 543 or rory_gauthier@nps.gov ) to ensure we can accommodate you.
