They don't have the seminar lineup posted yet, but I already have my reservations for this year at the campground down the road.

I went last year for the 1st time. Did not go to all the seminars but did attend Allen Martin on general building (he mostly did questions and answers), Mark Wheland's talk on how to avoid problems during a build, an excellent seminar on lock tuning, and one on carving that was mostly on chisel sharpening.  Attended a few others as well. All were full of great info for this newbie builder and all the speakers were willing to answer a lot of questions.  There were a lot more that I did not or could not attend. Wide range of stuff. along with venders ( I dropped a good chunk of change)

My wife joined me Saturday and came out to the fair for a little bit. She picked up a curly maple walking stick with a lot of figure from Tiger Hunt along with some of their stain. When she got done finishing it she was very happy with it. She can't wait to go this year and pick up more walking sticks along with some canes to finish.  Heck, with the job she did on the walking stick, I may have her finish the wood on my rifles  ;D
