Hear ye! Hear ye! LAST DAY OF THE BUILD!
Yes, that’s right, the Tuesday Colburn Barn Bateau Days are coming to an end. The 15th is our last day at the barn for this build. We’ll be flipping the bateau over, loading it on a trailer, and hauling it to Fairfield, where rub rails, seats, and a few other do-dads will be added to complete the build.
However, work at the Colburn Barn won’t stop. Over the summer, we won’t be holding regular work days, but we do hope to sponsor workshops that focus on building oars and setting poles.
Rumor has it that another bateau build will begin after this fall’s hiking and reenactment events.
Stay Tuned!
