DBernier:
Someone asked me "Why Friday, Saturday and Sunday as opposed to just Sat., and Sunday". I am hoping to get the press, radio, TV and newspapers there to advertise it some more for us, possably in the Friday nights editions etc. It is essential we have people set up Friday and or even earlier. It isn't like we have a few days there and have to leave. You can camp there two weeks if you want. Come early, leave late. There is no time table. It is privet land with no restrictions on us. Dennis, the land owner, is glad to support us in any way he can. I will be mowing grass this evening and tomorrow. He is even paying for the gas for us. So far we have 4 volunteers to spread among 15 or so demos. We need more help people. It would be a shame to miss this opportunity this year to flesh out this event.

Things are comming along just fine. For my part, signs are done, flyer's/maps are in the pipeline. Firewood is being cut and stacked if we need it. Outside shower is almost done. Just need to hook up the hose. This is for use by us if it is too hot and we need to cool off. It is exposed so bring a bathing suite. Contacted the boyscouts and will meet with them this week. I would be using them for traffic controll and as a cooking vendor, hot dogs, burgers etc. On site vehicles are available to us, an ATV and a John Deer Gator. Still searching for vendors who will sign up and give us a chance. Met with Don Ward today and he will come and set up, Eagle Flight Archery, and help with demo's. Below is a list of volunteers who have expressed a desire to help make this a good show.

This is a good start for us and I feel good about it. If you are comming I would ask if any of you have tables etc to bring them so we can spread them around. I have about 6 of them and will bring them. We need help and only with your help can we pull this off. Also you may want to bring any canopys you have "just in case".

I also wanted to let everybody know that I started another email address for this event that I'll be checking several times a day.
it is;ncknap-in@nc.rr.com I have already contacted some of the local media to begin getting the word out & will continue to do so as I can. I will be meeting with Dick later this week to go over a few things, so if anyone has suggestions , helpful ideas, or wants to volunteer for anything, please give me a holler. I can also be contacted on my cell @ 919-810-2120 (it has vioicemail if I don't answer). Thanks!

DBernier:
Thanks Jim. Because Jim lives in such close proximity to me he is sharing some of the responsabilities of hosting this event. So, by the way, I need to have someone head up the firestarting demos. That is bow drill, flint & steel etc. Whatever we can demo. I have about four sets of bow drills we can use to let the public try it out for them selves. I think this is really comming together. We are going to have fun. More later.
