Leather flask holders with flasks inside

Something really nice at the OK faire was due to the high heat (96, 98, 97 over the Memorial Day weekend), all of the pubs had large coolers of either plain water or a water/gatorade mix sitting on the counters, and you could go and fill up your water bottle as much as you wanted for no charge.

For us Northerners, it was a blessing, since we weren't used to that kind of heat.  Although, today is 98 in Galena, and yesterday was 96.  Ugh....
