TANNING HIDES AT THE PIONEER VILLAGE - Shona Jordan, a taxidermist and hide tanner from Pike County, demonstrates the process of preparing a raccoon hide for tanning during her presentation at the Pioneer Crafts Festival this past Saturday at the Pioneer Village in Rison. This was the third year since the the Pioneer Village revived the crafts festival which was once one of the major crafts festival across southern Arkansas. This year’s event featured more crafters and vendor booths, and also included some homesteading sessions.
