Hawken Classic.

[andy52]

The Classic is only a few months away, it really didn't get much press last year so I though to get it rolling.
I'll be donating another bag to raffle off and will post some pics when I get it finished.

The display of original Hawken, Gemmer and MO rifles was incredible.
The Ashley Return guys telling their 3 month journey was another highlight.

I hope to get out there this year. Kind of doubt if I’ll make it, but there is a chance.

I’ve been a Hawken fan for a mighty long time. It would be great to meet some of the good folks from the Forum in person, too.

You'll get to shoot an original Hawken if you wish, kinda' amazing to shoot a 50K
gun for free.

Hoping to get there as well. Like Notchy Bob, I've been a Hawken fan since the beginning.

Yessir. That alone would be a good reason to go, but it sounds as if there will be plenty to do.

I'm curious... Is there any old-time music at this event?

There wasn't any last year but we were still dealing with the tail-end of Covad.
I'm pretty sure there won't be any onstage players at this one, but I'm sure you'd find some at the campsites.

Even better.

 

[andy52]

Even better.

At my camp for the most part, and others.

Thanks Mark for posting information about the Hawken Classic! I’m happy to help answer anyone’s questions about the event. I’ll post some information about the event to help others decide if they should attend.

There were a few people last year that were going to provide music last year, but things fell through and they didn’t make it. We would love to have this as part of the event. If there are some musicians that decide to go and would like to have me promote times when music will be played, I’d be happy to do that. I can add it to the event schedule.

And no one under the age of 21 can attend those events.......

As promised here are a few pics of the bag I made as a raffle for the Classic.
The bag has three internal compartments, a wool strap, and a horn.
Yours truly made the bag but the strap was made by @KLWeaver and the horn by
@torpedo.
I'm not sure how much the raffle tickets will be. Bob will have to jump in and let you know that one.

Here is a link to the raffle:
https://rafflecreator.com/pages/58362/hawken-classic-2023-raffleI added your pictures to the raffle page. Thank you Mark for donating this beautiful set!
Tickets are $1 each with extra tickets available for $5, $10, $20 and $50 purchases.

 

[andy52]

Just as an afterthought the bag is set up as a right-hander now but can be used as a left if the horn is reversed.

Didn't see anything about if blanket traders were allowed at the event, or would that just be vendors?

 

[BobV9691]

Blanket traders are definitely welcome. If you're camping in period you need to register. Information for Participants of the HC2023

Bob, I linked to your site and it's not very user friendly, it's not easy to find the application..

My 82 year old dad and I drove from Colorado to St. Louis for the Hawken Classic last year. For a first year event it was very well done and we are going to make the trip again in 2024! Like others have stated…I’m also a student and admirer of Hawken firearms.
