Hey all.
Something fun and exiting happening over in Idaho.
Check out fire Iron Forge and all the cool stuff they do. This is what they sent me.

We are having a class with Ellen Durkan on 5/23+24. They are one day classes and $200 for the day. If you or anyone from the NWBA would like to come feel free to share the link. I wanted to reach out to you guys before we make it public tomorrow. Our school is in Rathdrum, ID. It’s about 6.5hrs from Longview. Class is limited to 8 students and should be a blast. If you have any questions let me know. Here’s a link to the page on our website-
