Favorite Thing at the Classic
JackCrafty:
Of course, it's the people. And there's something about the back woods of Tennessee. ;D
I hated to miss the one last year. I can't wait.

Lane...I could sit here for hours till your ears were burning... listing the Good things that are the Reasons why "The Classic" is ....THE BEST!!! Just ask Pappy ...Cracker...or Eddie...hell they will all tell ya... :P
But I'll save my Breath and tell You the Worst part of "THE CLASSIC"....is Leaving...it has brought tears to my eyes two years in a row as I drove off...and I can bet that this year will be the same...I wait all year to go there again...to rest and let My Hair Down ( I mean literally)....and just have a great time...but leaving breaks my heart....the only thing that keeps me coming...is knowing there will be a 15th Annual...and a 16th........ ;D

Mike, we know the reason you get weepy as you are leaving the Classic is you have a 15 hour drive ahead of you. I'd cry too! :D

I'm fortunate to live here in Clarksville and get to go down and have fun at Twin Oaks on a weekly basis. We always plan for the Classic and try to have everything prepared and waiting for all our friends to join us for some fun times. As you know, the best laid plans often are upset usually in our case by Mother Nature...rain! :) But like already has been said, everyone just migrates under roof, and it seems like all of us sharing the bad weather and spending time talking about our lifes and hobbies only bring us closer. It really is an unusual event, like a family get-together with southern hospitality being shared by all.
I am amazed by the wide range of folks from different walks of life that you meet during the Classic! Many have complicated stressful jobs, and you have to guess that is a contributing factor why we look to the primitive side to counter and bring back some down to earth basic's to the fast-paced lifes we lead. After experiencing the Classic, it seems like most folks can't wait to come back and get their yearly "dose" of Classic goodness to experience some sanity...like this is what life should always be like, or at least we wish it could! The Classic is an event where nobody wants anything from you, other then your presense and friendship...they're just glad you're there, like family. We all need that in our lifes, don't you think! ;)

I have been scrimping and saving all winter to make enough extra money to make it to my first Classic. I did a bunch of Euro mounts to help pay the way. I got sprayed in the face with liquified deer and elk brains more than I really cared for, but it was worth it. I even sold the best osage stave I have ever had :'(
I will be bringing my 12 year old son too. Hopefully he doesn't get bored.
