If someone doesn't have a computer at the office or home, they should remember computers are usually available and easy to access at their local public library or school. Applications are available for the Arts and Crafts Show that will be held at the 22nd annual Fort Sisseton Historical Festival on June 5 and 6, 1999. Artists and crafts people who would like to display and sell their work should make plans as soon as possible. Many of the artists are from South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota. Festival organizers accept only original, self-made work representing items typically found in the time period when Fort Sisseton was a military post.
Applications are also available for food concessions.
There are two types of food booths. Major food booths have unlimited menus and have access to electricity. Special food booths are limited to one menu item and beverages, with no electricity available. Pioneer and ethnic foods are preferred. Those attending the Festival last year were entertained by attractions such as the black powder shoot, cavalry and infantry drills, rendezvous encampment, Indian cultural demonstrations, draft horse pull, melodramas, Dakota Dan's Medicine Show, fiddlers' jamboree and historical demonstrations.
