Don't the Chinese export all that stuff nowadays?

They might, I always buy local when I can, check things out on your next trip to Wal-Mart, I wouldn't know, I seldom go there and only if I have to.

What is amusing is the amount of folks who whine about how so few people understand how things were back then, but yet you get an event like this where even though the towns folks have a lot of not so historical things going on, you have the perfect audience to put on good "how they did things" historic demos.   

Do the whiners ever offer to show up and help?  No for the most part they seem to not want to put their efforts where their mouths are.  But I figured it out a long time ago, they'd rather go off and whine and play with themselves.  I guess that's why I don't pay much attention to the whiners anymore, next thing you know anyway they'll pull a bologna samwhich on Wonder bread out of a plastic bag and eat it.  LOL
