Flint Knapping Demonstration

Friday, July 19th @ 6:00 PM

Local Expert Davy Kephart of DTune Outdoors will be back with us to present and demonstrate the creation of modern lithic art, primitive reproductions, and primitive weapon making.  He will start with a rock and then work it through the different stages of knapping until a finished arrowhead is made,  with explanations of each stage along the way!

We will hold the Demo on the Outdoor Stage with a Facebook Live Feed,  and in the event of inclement weather we will move the presentation inside the Church.   

Admission is free,  and all donations go to the ongoing maintenance,  restoration,  and preservation of The Little Church on the Hill by the Elk Creek Township Historical Society.

July Coffeehouse

Saturday, July 20th from 7:00-9:00 PM

Join us out on the lawn for our July Coffee House for an evening with local Singer & Songwriter Cookie followed by Rick Byerley & Steve Crowl and friends!  Bring your lawn chair and enjoy an Outdoor Summer Concert on the Hill!  It's also our Annual Watermelon Fest,  so there will be plenty of fresh watermelon to enjoy for the perfect refreshing summer snack in the countryside!

It will be a great show, plus you won't want to miss opportunities to purchase tickets on our Monthly Door Prize,  50/50, and Quarterly Raffles.  Tickets are $1 each for all drawings,  and will be available through intermission when the night's drawings occur.  The Quarterly Raffle will be drawn during the Mini Coffee House at The Albion Fair in September.

Admission and refreshments are free, but donations are always gladly accepted and go towards the ongoing maintenance, restoration, and preservation of the Historic Little Church on the Hill by The Elk Creek Township Historical Society.
