 Thank you, Mac Spencer!
 This is always a great show.  Plenty of original rifles and people willing to let you handle and study them and share their knowledge.
 If you are a builder, this show is as much of a "must see" as Dixon's Gunmaker's Faire.

This is always a great show. The Kentucky Rifle Foundation will have all it's products for sale, a good time to get the newest book, "Moravian Gunmaking II" and our latest CD, "Rifles of Dauphin and Lebanon Counties". I think the display of pistols that is being assembled will be worth the visit alone. Mac also neglected to mention that there is a large collection of antique cars adjacent to the showroom that will be opened for free all those that attend the show. All good reason to come out this weekend.

Just checked the KRF's website. Nothing in the events section.

Alacran,

Due to my inability to update the website, the KRF uses it's Facebook page to update the various shows and function. We also use this site in the "Upcoming Show" section of the Forum.
