Dixon Muzzleloaders Fair

[Troyfairweather]

I just saw a poster for the Kempton Gun maker's fair. Kempton is the next real town north from Dixons, maybe 4 miles. Wish I had paid more attention, but it looked like a gun show outfit decided to try it at a nearby venue. and then there is this: Gunmakers' Fair 2022 Kempton, PA.

Yes I've seen that, good to know if will continue. Sucks next year tho.

I've been told that the farm across from the shop had been sold and the new owners weren't willing to allow parking and such.

I haven't been to Dixon's gun fair in a long time. Was planning to go this year, So sorry its ending!

Just a FYI

The NMLRA is digging into taking over the Dixon Fair. There is a group working on this.

That would be great.

Yeah, they will move it to the center of Idaho or some other inconvenient place. There is actually a large fairgrounds in Kempton, bigger than the town as I recall.

Well, even if I have to wait for next year, I'm THRILLED it will be continued and I will finally be able to attend!!!!

Moving it to Idaho might be inconvenient for you, but not for people that live in that neck of the woods.

Just to be clear, the NMLRA is not looking at moving it to Idaho.

Dixon's should be lauded for having hosted this event for such a very long time! The shop will still be there for all of your muzzleloading needs, but Gregg and Brenda deserve a well-earned rest! The new location could provide an even greater potential for expansion of this great historical hobby!
