Come to the museum while you wait for the derby Saturday afternoon at the museum! You can watch a live demonstration of saddle and/or holster making the old fashioned way. In 1800’s period costume, Bob Tackett, a Ray County resident will show you how he makes and repairs leather goods such as holsters and the accessories that were used in the period.
He will be at the museum from 1:30 until 4:00, so come and bring the kids and get a little piece of history before the festivities at the fair grounds!
