Dave, There are two Guilds in the northwest that are having events in August. On August 1-3 the Montana Historical Gunmakers Guild is holding their 2008 event in Bozeman, Montana. On August 22, 23 and 24 George Suiter will be our guest speaker at the Washington Historical Gunmakers Guild in Little Rock, Washington. Both guilds are offering hands on classes as well as seminars on various aspects of muzzleloading gunmaking. I have information available for both events, if anyone is interested. I will be presenting at the Washington event but between attending Dixon's and Hefley Creek this year, Montana is going to be too much unless I can get a car pool together.
