Quackery at Anselma Mill!

This weekend (April 10th) the LHHC will be making a second public appearance at The Mill at Anselma's opening day.

As part of the festivities, they are featuring a flour milling demonstration, as well as 'activities dedicated to exploring the truths and myths of 18th century medicines and surgical procedures.'

In the literature requesting our participation, it is further explained that they've 'brought an expert in historic medicine in to discuss what natural remedies colonial people would have used, as well as what quackeries and myths they believed in.'

I (Gina) noticed with a small bit of irony that our center, which includes an acupuncturist, an ayurvedic doctor, a shiatsu therapist, and a Reiki master, could very well be considered to be populated by 'quacks' according to some segments of the mainstream.

Alas, we shall be there anyway... it promises to be a fun day, and with sunny, cool weather. I also hope to run into Denise and Yvonne of Cooking for Real, who opened the Farmer's Market there at Anselma, and, for a while, contributed awesome recipes to my blog. Like this one for example...

Again, it's this Saturday from 10 to 4, on Route 401 in Chester Springs. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for kids, and any other info you need is here.

If you miss it, stay tuned for photos!
