Hello all,



The end of the year is approaching and I wanted to get a early newsletter
out to let people know about the upcoming events and to ask if anyone knows
of any upcoming 2010/2011 events.



Thank,

allows we will try and get a sheath made for it too. Other demos will
include...Tong and tool forging with Bill Scheer....Bill is the Blacksmith

Wechter, Hammer making and guard forging with blacksmith extraordinaire Sam
Salvati.


Other demos to TBA.



There will be a forge set up with demos going on all day while the knife
demos are going. There will also be an open forge area with several anvils
for you to hit some hot steel. Tailgate sales and a hot lunch of hot dogs
and hamburgers


Cost: $25.- bucks gets you in the door, lunch, and a chance to win the knife
we make during the day. You can also purchace extra chances for the knife
for an extra $5.- bucks each. Kids under 12 free.



All proceeds will go to getting some more equipment for the forge shop at
GAC so we can better teach all the young minds.
