         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons

Saturday, August 10, 2013: 

Mark and Paula traveled to Park Rapids, Minnesota, for a local gathering.

Can you imagine chopping a log between your feet with a super-sharp axe?

Even lumberjills got in the act cutting with swede saws.

They were aided by WD-40 to make the saw go faster.

See, WD-40 has uses everywhere.

They even had Alpacas from the Scott and Linda Elmore ranch at Backus, Minnesota.  Learn more at: http://alpacanation.com

Paula couldn't help but pet an alpaca.  She is sometimes referred to as an "animal whisperer."

A local archer was showing everyone how to shoot an arrow.

It looked easy enough.

Mark decided to try his luck.

Not bad...for an amateur!

Ever fire a cap and ball pistol from 200 years ago?

Watch it Paula, those things are dangerous!

There was some creative face painting going on along with animal peting.

A great family event.
