ok this ought to help you guys out, the event is outside Belfast Pa just north some from Allentown, its on the old Henry"s of Boulton homestead. You can get directions by Googleing in "Jacobsburg Historical Society" and checking out the site. Yea Leon the dates are the 27th-28th n 29th of Oct. The cost is $20.00 at the gate. You could have pre-reged but the time limit has passed ,I thinks its 5 bucks cheaper if ya pre reg.They have rifle, woods walk, archery, hawk n knife, stuff for the kids, Scottish games pumkin carving. I believe they will have a big pot of Chilli for the camp on Sat eve n you can bring your own extras for the camp feed. Ya can't breakdown before 3pm on Sun, as it is open to the pubic all weekend(they sometimes make exceptions due to on coming weather). Check out the web site for all the other particulars. Its a good time with a good bunch of people. Hope this helps some YMHS Birdman

Hey Meastro you n the family going to make it up to JBurg? Been awhile since I laid eyes on ya. I'm gonna try n head up early in the week(got permission from Tim) for a couple quiet days of woods wandering before the crowd shows up. Guess the next event for me will be Lancaster at Muddy Run n then the Eastern in the same place. Might try tp fit in a couple others during the summer but never know with the ovewrtime at work n all. Hope to see ya there. YMHS Birdman

Ok to anyone whose interested, got back from Jburg Sunday night. Had been in camp since Tuesday. Man the only weather we didn't get was the nice n warm kind. If it wasn't raining it was blowing around 35 mph and better. Then the temp went down in the low twenties(wasn't ready for that this early in the year)BRRRRRR LOL of course Sunday during pack up the sun come out all nice n pretty just in time to go back to work. ALL N ALL HAD A GREAT TIME :thumbsup: saw a couple friends from here on the board n got to chew the fat a bit also got to talk to a couple interested flatlanders which is always fun. When ya do this crazy hobby as long as I have it never ceases to amaze me that no matter how bad the conditions we always work it out n have fun :v ya all take care YMHS Birdman
