The annual ALR cabin-fever, winter get-together at Ft. Boonesborough State Park, Ky. will be held on January 28, 2023.  We will meet in the Recreation Building in the Camprground from 9am to 4pm, with a break for lunch at Hall's on the River.

All ALR members and anyone that's interested in the study, building, shooting, etc. of long rifles, horns, bags, knives, etc. is welcome.  Please bring works in progress, recently completed pieces, antiques for discussion, items for sale or trade.

In past years we've had from 10 to 15 attendees, but we can accommodate more, and we always have a great time, so please come and join us.  We usually try to have some tutorials or demo's lined up, so if anyone has any tips or how-to's they would be willing to pass along, please let me know.

I'd like to get a rough head count, so I can let the Fort know how many tables and chairs we need, so please let me know if you think you will be attending.

Here's a link with info on the Fort http://www.fortboonesboroughlivinghistory.org/

I'll be looking forward to seeing y'all.

Ron,
I apparently missed this when originally posted.  Hopefully there are some more interested folks out there that simply overlooked it also.  Anyway I will plan to attend, assuming there are others. Thanks  to Tim for bumping it back to the top.

Paul,
Bring that Allen Martin deer slayer if you don’t mind.  I’d like to look it over.

Thanks

Late to the party, as usual… :o, but I’m planning to attend, weather permitting.  I’ll check with my buddy Charlie and see if he’s available…I need some adult supervision…

I just heard from Bill Slusser.  He and his wife are planning on coming and Bill will be doing a demo on wire inlay.

I would love to be there, but my granddaughter is in a dance team event. Going to be an all day affair. 
Hope you have a good turnout.  Hate to miss.  I guess you will be going to Hall’s.  Hate to miss that too.😁😁

Dan,

We would love to have you join us, but as you said, it would be a bit of a drive for you.  The next best thing, I've posted some pictures in the related post in OTBF..... https://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=74963.0
