DBernier:
OK Allen. I wasn't sure soooooooo that is why the ? ??? That is cool man. I have been receiving phone calls at the rate of about two per hour all day and into the night. Jim, my partner in crime, from Hillsboro is saturating the media with the info. I believe we will have a lot of people there.

For those of you interested, Jim has listed the event on the web page of Triangle.com. Here is the link to it:

The Scouts are going to give me a decision by Monday on the Traffic control and cooking. I personally think they will do it just so they can be there to see the goings on. We are crossing off a lot on our list. I will pick up the wood for the sign tonight and have it done by Sunday.
I was asked what to do about "Vendors." I said that all material for sale should be considered pre 1840, similar to the Primitive Rendezvous sponsored by the NMLRA. I think for this year and in the future we would want to do this to conform to our Primitive Skills aspect.
I think we have talked PatB into making a self bow to be given away to a youngster. I will supply the quiver, arrows, guard and tab. Some young person will be very lucky winning this raffle.

I met with Dick today and gave the site a look over. Wow! What an ideal site for this event. There is p-l-e-n-t-y of space for parking, demonstrations, knapping, etc.. It really turned up the burner under me.
I've been contacting some knappers I know and several other on-line sites to spread the word. I also stopped in at some local tackle shops and dropped off some flyers. I'm doing a knapping demonstration next month in Pittsboro for some cub scouts, so I will cover that area while I'm there.
This is going to be a good time, I'm really looking forward to it.

DBernier:
Thanks for the input Jim. Met with Dennis, the land owner tonight and visited a new landowner who bought the property adjacent to McCray road. He is willing to fill in the ditch at the road side for us next week to provide an exit route for the public to leave the event. The in access road is narrow and would pose a problem with twoway traffic. We now have the use of a "bushhog" for clearing the tall grass. I will start mowing this next week. Things are progressing at a good rate now.
I will reiterate that you can come anytime during the week and camp there. Just call or Email me first. There is also an area for tin teepee's (campers) but no hookups. The groomed area is 3500 feet long by 90 feet wide. If mother nature is good to us it should be a fine weekend.
