If you have ever wanted to get a feel for how things were in the so-called olden days, Columbia is the place to be next month. The Pleasant River Fish & Game Conservation Association will give people a chance to take a small and temporary step back in time when it holds its eighth-annual Puckerbrush Primitive Gathering. The event, which will be held July 14-16 at the club’s grounds on Tibbetstown Road, is focused on demonstrating and teaching a variety of primitive outdoor skills. Offerings will include traditional archery, bushcraft, basic survival skills, canoeing and handcrafts such as bow making, blacksmithing, woodworking and fire craft.
