2016 Boys Spring Longhouse

The weather was hot but the spring was cool. Last weekend the boys had a great Longhouse at Blue Springs Park. While there was an egg toss, critter race and zip line for entertainment, the real hit is always the Blue Springs, especially the high dive platform.

Big Bobcat and Big Tree cooked up an amazing meal with the help of the Kickapoo tribe. We ate pulled pork, brisket, ribs, beans, potato salad and chips, with plenty of drinks for the kids.

Eagle Heart and his assistant set up a flawless sacred fire display and provided a great setting for the breaking arrow ceremony. Timucuan Federation also celebrated the departure of many of its pathfinders as enjoyed the presentation of special gifts for both Kicking Buffalo and Flaming Arrow.
