Somehow this got removed from our schedule. I just put the flier back and it has the information for the show.

I'll be there and will even bring a VIP.  Any of you fellows need brass castings I'll have them along too.

This is a great show and I'm looking forward to being there. You never know what will show up. I'll have a couple southern rifles there as well as a few things that I'm looking to sell.

Looking forward to it Louie. It's been a few shows since I've been there. Maybe there will be a mountain rifle or two there, who knows. I can always hope.

I wonder who the VIP could possibly be? Maybe Governor Blago??

I will be passing through that area, on my way home from Friendship on that Friday.   But I should be home by the time it starts....

What time will you be going through?  Setup is at 8am and open to invited guests at 9 on Friday morning. That early, there may be some folks that aren't set up yet, but most probably will be.  So stop by if passing through anytime after 9 and look me up. Would welcome the chance to meet another ALR member.

Just looked at the map and I forgot that I will be running a more southern route home.   Bringing my Amish buddy and one of his young sons with me.   I am no longer going to be tent camping at Friendship and my buddy Rick Weber and I have a cabin delivered on Monday.   My Amish buddy is going to help us finish cabin.   He is from southern Iowa.

I really do appreciate the comments, had me excited for a few minutes about being able to stop by.

Thanks

Was at this show Friday. Saw Brooks VIP. Still cant name him. Good sized fella I took for security! He kept telling me to "pick em up and look em over". I've learned I cant do that. They follow me home! Small venue. Always something neat to see. And at nearing 59 years old makes me feel like a youngster being there.

Yeah I was one of the youngins in the room. But its the interest in these things that keeps us coming. Been there a number of times. Guess I should do better at introductions. Interesting little show none the less.
