Your neighborhood is beautiful! I always love driving there to Dixon's/Fair/Kempton.

I plan to have my 1-of-1000 pin on my hat; it's the only place where anyone would even know what it is!

What is the BPMS initials? Drawing a blank. BTW, I always go to such things early, would never go Sunday as little stuff that I like would be "picked over"!

Ill be the round gray bearded guy with the bald head. I should be easy enough to spot. probably be wearing a ALR shirt or a Pa Federation of Black powder shooters shirt.

 

[bud in pa]

I will be going, probably have my T- shirt on with a rendering of a buck, that says " Hey Vegan my food poops on your food".

 

[B P Maniac Shooter]

I'd love to attend, but probably won't make it this year.
I'm betting a lot of the vendors you'll see below will come back again this year.
I'll be going to PA in August or September anyway.
To entice you shooters that are thinking about going, here's little of what to expect:

Thanks for sharing this. Never got to the Dixon run event, but am curious how different it's going to be in the new facility. Will be looking for thoughts from the long-time attendees down the road.

Live pretty close to Kempton, but will be traveling to Virgina for a family event that weekend. Hope to get back in time to spend a few hours at the Fair on Sunday and maybe buy myself a new gun. Sold some traditional archery equipment to fund a flintlock fowler and the money is buring a hole in my pocket. Trying to find the right gun to buy before I have to waste the money on a new refrigerator or some other non-essential purchase my wife thinks we should make.

 

[GriscomRun]

I'll be going. Taking my avatar to sell. It's a Lehigh mountain rifle in .54 swamped Colrain. Can't shoot it since I lost my shoulder to an injury. Sadly, it's virtually new. Nice inlays. Made in PA. I'd offer it here but I prefer to hand deliver. No skills to make a proper box.

I want to go but.......my R/P club is hosting an NRA Women On Target event the same weekend. My part of the event is muzzle loaders. Showing the ladies how to load and shoot bp rifles has become the hit of the event. And seeing the looks and smiles when they break a hanging clay target is priceless.

Yeah, guys of that description are hard to spot at a BP event!
