The Loudoun Archaeological Foundation, Inc. (LAF) had the pleasure of participating in the 37^th Annual Lucketts Fair in Lucketts, Virginia on August 22 -23, 2009 (Saturday and Sunday). Although Saturday was marred by mud and humidity left from Friday rainfalls and another rainfall on Saturday afternoon, 1,102 individuals visited our exhibit booth and participated in a number of interactive and passive exhibits. Approximately two-thirds of our visitors were pre-school and elementary school-aged children.

We were particularly honored by the presence of one entirely unexpected but most welcome visitor: William “Jack” Hranicky. Jack Hranicky is nationally-renowned for his work on the typology and nomenclature of North American Eastern-Woodland Indian projectile points and author of numerous books on this interesting subject (all students of Dr. Clarks class in “Northern Virginia Prehistoric Archaeology” are intimately familiar with Jack Hranicky books as they are major resources for student-projects identifying prehistoric artifacts from local collections).

Thanks also to Larry Baker who took some time off from celebrating his 16^th wedding anniversary on Saturday and Sunday to assist in presenting our exhibits and special thanks to Larrys lovely wife for sharing her special occasion with us.
