VSW Fall 2018 State Outing

VSW Archives Home
The Vol State Winnies held their fall camp out at the James E. Ward Agriculture Center In Lebanon, TN on October 25-28, 2018. Fifteen coaches were in attendance. Eleven of the members braved the light rain to visit the Historic Mansker's Station in Goodlettsville. A highlight of the tour was the explanation and demonstration of how the early settlers made water color paints. The docent had made many paintings with his hand made water colors. He demonstrated the gradual cracking and grinding of special rock into a very fine powder, then mixing with a special tree sap to create an adhesive condition. He also explained how mixing of a few colors could turn into a multi-color picture. In addition he demonstrated turning timbers into various household items. They sell several wood items they make in the visitors center.


Another highlight of the camp out was the presentation of the WIT Club 10 year anniversary patches to the Rocky Top Travelers (RTT) & the West Tennessee Travelers (WTT) chapters. Three charter individuals from each of the chapters were present. The third VSW Chapter, the Music City Winnies, celebrated their 44th Anniversary in August at Salt Lick Creek Campground.
