18th Century Artisan Faire

[pamtnman]

Spent yesterday afternoon at the 18th Century Faire show, now in Carlisle. Some longtime vendors were not present, like Gen Ni Si Ho, at least that I could see, and the usual stalwarts were there in force. Tremendous amount of talent in one place. So much fun.
Had a long talk with Duelist’s Den Mike Beliveau about his lawsuit to preserve our rights to target shoot on our own property. Saw Gary Fatheree of The Leatherman, who showed me the 1681 wheellock he took a deer with this past season.
Wish I had more time.

Also attended on fri. Picked up a rice 50 cal southern A weight, maple stock blank and a bunch of smaller items to start my next build. Talked with Clay Smith and Tim Williams, big fan of both and very nice guys. Wish I had run into Mike as I'm also a fan of his. All and All a very nice show, with a lot of nice helpful people, especially for a relatively new old guy to the hobby.
