Who's Going to the Gunmaker's Fair?

[BJHabermehl]

OK, who's going to the Kempton Gunmaker's Fair, formerly at Dixon's? I'm up in the air about it at the moment but can heartily recommend it to anyone interested.

I got there for two of the three days I planned. I had a accident and burned both of my lower legs first and second degrees Wednesday. Saturday I presented my seminar on the sliding wood patch box, and had to head home early due to swelling of my legs. I enjoyed talking with lots of people, hopefully I passed on a few bits of knowledge. It’s allways a family reunion at the show. BJH

Spent a little over 4 hrs. at the show , had a good time. Lotsa fun and a good time. Bought some gun parts , rough horns , shooting accoutrements , a book or so , and catalogs. Headed home at about 3:45 PM with a stop at the Chinese Buffet Rest across from Cabelas. Oh , all was good , w/ good times , good food , and a safe trip home.......oldwood

I couldn't get up there! How is that major construction on Rt. 22 coming along? It's a pretty hairy highway, last time I was up there.

Had a great time on Friday, got there at 9, just in time to catch the first round of lectures. Got a stock blank, picked up some odds and ends hardware, gadgets and widgets, met a ton of friendly people, saw a horn that I couldn't resist, so I bought that too. It was really nice to meet Mr. Person and Mr. Chambers and everyone else along the way. I finished the afternoon talking to the living history folks, I really enjoyed talking to the woodworkers and to the fellow from the PA 1st rifles. I left about 5:30 and and drove back to Pittsburgh last night.
I was so glad I made it, wish I could have stayed all weekend for the rest of the lectures.

You deserve a gold star for driving that distance! You're a real muzzle-loader!

First timer to the fair. Spend the entire day there Friday. I'm still on informational overload.
