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.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

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.
