Great call, Mikey. I'll do what I can to help honor Norm.

Nice idea Mike. I could tell from talking to you last year at Elm Hall of the impact he had on you. That's a great thing. I've seen Norm around at different events but never had the pleasure to talk with him.

I am planning on attending for the first time this year.  What should I plan on bringing?  I read about trade blankets, shoots, etc.  I want to make sure I have enough stuff to enjoy the experience fully.

Great news Kyle! Bring some bow projects and tools, a clamp on vice or press is nice to have. Food is always available up front at the clubhouse, but I usually pack my own and make it. I love outdoor cooking and eating. There is a Saturday night potluck, meat is provided my Pauly and I. So consider a dish to pass that will travel well for you. Cash is always a good thing to. Lots of vendors around to peruse, plus Clint will have osage staves to be had at a very fair price.

That's great Kyle, like Pearl said bring your tools a vice if you have one. Don't forget pencils I just can't build a bow without one. Arrows bow and anything you might trade that has some value. Last year I bought a bunch of firewood and didn't use any not bringing any this year. Like Pearl said $$ is good to bring. It's not that it expensive trip, it's just a great chance to buy stuff we all need at a good price and not have to pay shipping.

 they have a shower in the clubhouse. Some body wash and a towel is a good idea or you could be  like crack Hawk and just get stinkier as the days go on

Good call, Pauly. I forgot about the shower.

A person could get in the poison ivy if they weren't careful to. If you bring kids there's lots of other kids to play with. Chairs and maybe a table. A little gas or charcoal camping grill. A fire ring if you want campfire. They don't want fires on the grass. Most of all your curiosity and take pictures. I always forget to take pictures.

Thanks for all the tips guys.  I'll probably have a full truck by the sounds of it.  I am a historical reenactor (French fur trade) so the camping part is covered. I had better get busy making arrows and shooting a bit more if I don't want to spend all my time looking for my lost arrows.  I hope to be bringing some goods to trade, elm and/or hickory staves, maybe some rivercane, obsidian chunks and some deer leg sinew, among other things.  My father will also most likely be coming.  He doesn't make bows or shoot, but he's pretty interested in the event.

Don't sweat it Kyle, we look for arrows behind every target we shoot "at" :)
