Ron,

[Ron Scott]

Long ears,

Could you send me a PM with your email address?

Is the fair open to the public?

I would like to come down and see the exhibits maybe
pick up some parts.

[ChipK]

This is always a great event to be at.  Lots of projects to see with even a few originals thrown in for fun.  Best of all is the chance ti sit around and talk with folks that share your passion and learn how they are doing the things you are struggling with.

I've been going there now for about 20 years and every year its just as good as the first year.  That says a lot for the folks that put the event on.

  Can someone take pictures and post here?..please

[Ron Scott]

Old Vern,  You would be welcome to drop by to look at parts but would encourage you to stay for the event. People are friendly and there are some pretty good presentations.



We do have a good photographer who will be doing a demonstration on Firearms photography. I'll see if I can persuade him to Post some photos after this fair.

There are still a couple of openings in the May 17th  & 18th lock assembly class if anyone is interested.  We will be assembling Chambers gunmakers locks.  The lock assembly workshop as well as the patchbox construction workshop are on Thursday and Friday and the main event starts on Saturday the 19th.   Both workshops are held in a large fully equipped work shop with amble bench space.

Hi Ron,
I will be with you guys in spirit.  Unfortunately, smart dog and I will be on the islands of southeastern Alaska doing research on deer and wolves.  Maybe next year.
Ron, thank you for organizing such a valuable event.
