Got my roll dog for the trip lined up today. Mike Miller is going for sure and he's calling Jimmy in the morning to see if its 3. All we need is a 30x30 spot somewhere near the action. Tell us what kind of meat and how much we should bring. We got plenty. Pork, bambi, angus, or coon.

Thanks Pappy, that will lighten my load for the trip down if I don't have to bring firewood. You guys are the best. :)
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Hey guys leave me a little spot :laugh: I will be rolling in late Thursday night / early Friday morning. Might have a couple others with me to. Don't need much, just a place to pitch a tent and maybe room for some cooking utensils. Patrick

Sorry about that Blaflair, maybe next year. Chris you we can't do with out you  hope you can find a ride  :) CJDore Not sure what you plan on building, there are plenty of staves there to buy or trade for also along with strains/material to make strings and leather, bring what you want or have or you can get it there, any wood that will make a bow is fine. We have concession running Friday morning through Sunday with breakfast and lunch. Before that you are on your own.  :) You should also know, not sure some new folks do that this is a Traditional archery shoot going on with bow building thrown in the mix, so making bows is not nearly all that is going on so you will want to bring a bow and some arrows also. :) About a month away.

Pappy thanks for the reply. I am new to the archery sport and do not currently have a primitive bow. I was hoping to craft one at this event and shoot it by Sunday. Hope to meet you and see everyone there. BTW....I would like to craft a bow like this one......

CJ, if you can't find a way to work on a bow there, YOU JUST AIN'T TRYIN'!

Between the shop space, tools and materials, and amazingly patient expert guidance, it's a no-brainer.  Have fun, have a lot of fun!

There was talk of it last year but it never got off the ground.  If people want to I was thinking about doing a Trade Blanket on Saturday afternoon at 2 till 3.  One hour long.   :) be sure to buy a burger and a drink when you visit the Swap  ;)  If the weather is good it will be somewhere over in the grass area on the left as you come down the drive.  If it's raining, under the covered area on the picnic tables  I'll get a sign posted up if folks want to do it.  About all that's needed is a place and a time.  Bring something to trade and a blanket if you have several items, or walk around with your one time in hand a swap as you can. 

Just an idea I was kicking around.

Sleek ,remind me again on what you are selling and how big a spot you need, getting old and have a lot on my mind right now so I tend to forget. I am really full but may be able to squeeze in one more. ;) :)

A trade blanket is a great idea. What are the rules gonna be...Just trading or is selling ok?

Really looking like I'm going to make it this year. Like Patrick it will probably be late Thursday night but better than nothin. I don't know if the kids are coming with me or not. I may try and travel on the cheap and kids are expensive pets. Plus you all in the concession stand kept feeding my daughter soda and candy when I wasn't looking. >:D
