I am hoping to make it sometime on Saturday. Might not be able to though since I definitely don't plan on taking my two year old son.

Get him started early!

However, it will definitely be a challenge with the diapers and the attention span and activity of the youngster. I was able to take my son to some things, but, it was a chanllenge!!

More concerned about having to keep him in a straight jacket, so he doesn't take any of the beautiful rifles out.   ;D

Exceptionally fine show as usual.  Thank you to those who brought guns from their collections for me to look at, greatly appreciated. Thanks Curt and Jerry for putting it all together.
 Fun driving home in the snow! ;)

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Another fine show!  It's always fun to see old friends and make a few new ones. The music and food were good  and lots of nice stuff to look at. As always people were very helpful in sharing their time and knowledge.
Curt, Marilyn, Craig and Jerry Thanks for putting  it together .
