If any of you guys are from Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, Southern Michigan, etc, I thought I might put out a little invitation to you!
It will be July 19th.
For the last three years, a knife collector/enthusiast has put on a two day/1 night "get together" of knife makers/collectors/enthusuiasts and otherwise trouble makers, up on the Fox River out west and North of Chicago. It's in a great setting along the Fox River in a park-like setting. I don't drink, myself, but I'll bet there are those of you who might enjoy some cold tap brew, at least two roasted hogs, all kinds of other food and frolic, not to mention about 150-200 people/makers/collectors/bikers and hot chicks hangin' out and talking about KNIVES!!!
I think we'll have a power hammer there this year, as well as forging demos, little instruction demos about cord wrap, inlay, etc., etc., etc.
There are no real accomadations, but plenty of room to toss up a tent to make the best of the weekend.
A little previous notice is appreciated so plenty of food is available.
Hope some of you can make it!!

I'll be doing the forging demos this year with Jerry Rados. If I can get someone else to take pics, I'll do it.
When I get an itinerary I'll post it.

That sounds like fun!

Karl, I am SURE you can get someone to take pics. Would love to see you in action.
