Amen to that Keith.  Once again, an awesome 2 days.  So many original antique pieces and wonderful contemporary ones, many of their owners inviting you to pick them up for closer inspection.  

Enjoyed seeing many old friends and met some new ones, but also missed some of the folks who couldn't make it this year.  Had another great ALR get-together at the show, then dinner on Friday evening.  To echo Keith, really looking forward to next year.

Here's a few pictures.......

A tribute to David Dodds


"The Long and Short of It" - a display of long gun and pistol sets by various makers.


"The Beauty of IRON" - another theme display.


The Live Auction items.


Ladies, it ain't ALL guns.  Well, ok, it's mostly guns but there are some other things you will find interesting.


The usual suspects.

Hahaha, they are good, aren't they.  Next year we'll have to order some fried banana peppers and some fried green tomatoes. 

You're most welcome, glad to do it.  I think everyone had a good time.  I know I did!

I truly wanted to be there, but as they say, "life happened".  I'm making plans NOW, for next year though.

Dr. Tim, my chloresterol goes up a couple of points if I even walk past a Hot Brown...but I can never actually walk past one... ::)

Thanks to all who've posted pictures!

I just wanted to echo the same as other,in that it was really nice to put your faces to the names now. Are there other shows where this happens, the meet & greet? I didnt have long to talk so I look forward to the next one.
