The third annual Clarksville Day celebration brought the old town site to life.

SNAKEOIL SALESMAN? History reenactor Jerry Gardnerís costume is so authentic that he could have sold snake oil during the 2009 Clarksville Day celebration. He was discussing shoe history with Russ Kurz when this picture was taken. That's right, the history of shoes. Bet you didn't know that it wasn't till the 1850s that they started making lefts and rights, said Gardner. My corns ache just thinking about it. Mother Lode News photo by Mike Roberts
