For anyone who has the least interest in black powder, or who appreciates exceptional craftsmanship, Dixon's Gunmakers' Fair is happening this weekend:

An amazing display of hand-made black powder rifles and pistols, mostly flinters, and an impressive schedule of seminars for those who want to build their own or just learn more. Kid-friendly, and food trucks are available for lunch. It's not that far (exit 40 off 78 I believe), and it really is a one-of-a-kind event. It runs Friday - through Sunday, and there are vendors from all over the country showing their wares. There is also a competition for hand-built guns, horns, etc. Truly incredible what amateurs can do given enough time and direction. It's free, but you will need to pay for parking. I go every year and it is a "must do" event for me. Hope to see you there!

I'll be there too, in a CNJFO t-shirt.  Stop me to say hello!

I've been going to Dixon's for at least 15 years, maybe longer.  Gregg & Brenda run a nice operation.  Yes, it's off exit #40 on Rt. 78, corner of Rt. 737 & Kunkels Mill Road (9952 Kunkels Mill Road).  Look for the big brown wooden sign that says "Gun Makers Fair".  Same exit as Dietrich's Meats & a nice Winery, so lots to see & do off a single exit!  Just 11 miles from Cabela's exit #29B!  Just $5 to park & NO CHARGE to get in!
