Yes the ALR tent will be at Dixins this year. Turn to the over the fence section of this forum and look for the topic of live tutorials at Dixons for more info. BJH

Mike, No apologies needed! It's more advertising for the ALR and the tent.

Direct link to thread: http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=26926.0

Eric vonAschwege is coming this year. He will be in the toddler section of the tent. Eric was the ALR baby for a while, but I think there are some younger members now.

Are you gonna have a high chair and bib ready for me (don't even think about it!)?  I have gradumacated from being the toddler, I held title as the youngest guy around for close to 9 years - can you believe it's been that long!?  Can't wait to get to Dixon's again, 2 years is way too long.

Eric, it's scary when you've held that title for so long. The oldest toddler on earth.

C'mon young'uns, where are you? (another topic for another day)

I so look forward to this Fair!

Tom,
You may find this hard to believe but now that Eric has moved to the Pacific North West he is all grownup.  This weekend at my place we let him sit at the adult table.  Eric no more needs a high chair and a bib as I need a grass skirt and a ukulele.

I've never been to this event, but plan to go this year.  Are these tutorials you're talking about different from the ones listed on Dixon's website?

Yes, these are smaller, more intimate sidebar demonstrations/discussions, held under the ALR tent up on the hill.

I've been to Dixon's, you could be 60 and still hold that title!   ;)
