Howdy, and Welcom from Fort Bend!
There will be a public doin's (Texas Association of Buckskinners) at the Presideo La Bahia in Goliad December 6-8. Goliad will be period for participants but open to the public. Bought a rifle from a trader there once. PM your email if interested and I will send you the flyer. Links at end.
Christmas at the Fort (Old Fort Parker) in Groesbeck is a "trade" show. December 12-14th. No additional info on their website. Last OFP I was at was a poodle show of eras and much farby stuff, and I quit making the 9 hour round trip years ago. The 18th Century Society of Texas holds a couple excellent events at OFP each year well worth attending as public or participant.
I order Goex from Coonies a case at a time delivered to my front door. Just bought 1000 caps from Natchez during sale with free hazmat. Only paid twice what they are worth.
Sure do miss going to Rebel Arms at Genoa-Red Bluff for all supplies and a Saturday of shooting. It is a freeway now.
