Mousetown Showdown! Forging Competition

Saturday, May 2, 2026
9am - 4:00pm

Our annual friendly forging competition. There will be food, Iron in The Hat drawings and Tailgate sales.

Two-part competition- enter either or both:

  1. Individual: Make ahead in your shop: a flower or some type of plant. No size or material restrictions but must be made within the last year. Must donate your entry to Iron in The Hat; winners will be based on the amount of IIH tickets items get.

  2. Pairs: On-site, timed competition- Two-person team will make two hooks as close to identical as possible, one from round stock, the other from square stock. BGWM will provide the material. Judging will be based on how closely alike the hooks are, with points added for aesthetics and creativity.

Prizes will be awarded for both contests.
