Show News Is Good News

Nov. 8^th & 9thwas the Elk Valley Crafters Association show in Fayetteville, TN.  It was a Christmas show with folks being brought in by trolley.  This was one stop on the trolley’s tour.

My lovely wife could not go to the show because she was hurting so bad.  A young lad named Michael helped me throughout the show.  There were so many nice folks that stopped by to check out the goods

 

Robert and Peggy came by a couple of times and bought a few things including that cool Manzanita wood neck knife that she’s wearing.

This gentleman brought a knife by and asked if I could shorten the handle because it was a bit too long.  I gladly took it from him and made the repairs over the next two weeks.  He drove all the way from Fayetteville to get the knife from me.

All in all this turned out to be a good show and can’t wait for the spring EVCA show!

The last show of the year will be at The Farm in Summertown, TN.  The dates are December 6 & 7, 2014.  Leslie set up at the show last year while I was in Wisconsin meeting my grandson Henry.  I look forward meeting all the new folks that attend.

I spent a bit of time in the woods during the muzzle loader season without any luck.  Being outside, in the woods, heightens awareness, calms the spirit and eases all the stresses of life for me.  One observation made is, this happens to be a great year for squirrels.  There will be some squirrel hunting going on soon.

On opening day of the gun season I was lucky enough to harvest 2 beautiful deer.  They were both taken on the same trail to my pond and only 8 minutes apart.  Unlike the deer hunting shows on TV, there was no hooping & hollering.  I quietly thanked the deer for giving themselves to me.  I will process the meat and use as much of the animal as I can.
