The different competitions that are held at the Ochlockonee River Stone Age & Primitive Arts Festival serve several purposes.  First and most important is to educate people about the world’s rich prehistory by demonstrating the tools and techniques used by stone aged peoples from Florida and other parts of the world. The other very important thing that we are trying to accomplish through the competitions, is to provide an interesting and enjoyable experience for park visitors while educating them and providing a venue for the artisans to demonstrate their skills and artwork.
