Visitors Enjoy Petit JeanMountain Rendezvous
Greetings from Petit JeanState Park! The park’s 14thAnnual Petit Jean MountainRendezvous, held Nov. 25-27,was enjoyed by numerous par-ticipants and spectators, in spiteof some chilly, wet weather dur-ing the last part of the event.
Rendezvous re-enactorscamped out in tents and teepees,and depicted scenes of whatdaily life would likely have beenlike for pioneers during the ter-ritorial days of Arkansas in the
early 1800s, without the modernconveniences we often take forgranted today, such as electrici-ty, refrigeration and instantcommunication via phones andcomputers. Visitors were able toview re-enactors at work doingblacksmithing, campfire cook-ing and carving wooden bowls.
Park interpreters and re-enac-tors provided opportunities forvisitors to try throwing a toma-hawk, to see how a muzzle-loading rifle works and to playwith old-fashioned toys madewith very simple materials suchas buttons and string.
A wide variety of trade tentitems, such as beaded jewelry,woolen clothing and metal toolswere available for sale.
Petit Jean State Park’s nextscheduled event will be EagleAwareness Weekend on Jan. 14-15, 2012. For more informationabout this or other events, callthe park interpreters at (501)727-6512 or (501) 727-6510, orcall the main park office at (501)727-5441 or check out thepark’s website www.PetitJean-StatePark.com.
