Work out back was halted not sure if they have resumed as I have been way busy here

BJ I have been thinking the same thing kinda wondering about a hatchet bow contest , maybe on Fri.
Would like to hear from the rest of y'all

Pearly are you bringing a smoker ? That would be great
I keep thinking about buying one but not sure I could swing it as it would have to be left there as I dont have room to haul it

hope everyone is doing good
sure wish we could get together more

I am, Guy. We will have two going.

I'm too busy to do any building contests. Plus, I've pretty much promised myself out to a few folks already.

If we do the hatchet bow I'm bringing one of those honeysuckle staves that I cut last summer.

You might want to bring some hatchets for the trade blanket. Not sure how my HHB will respond to working with a hatchet.

Alright boys, i know there's alot goin on at this event.... but i was thinking about doing a tribute to one of the forefathers of this event... Norm Blaker. Not only is he a living legend he is one of my best friends. I've had the pleasure of calling Norm a teue friend for over 20 yrs now.... nothing over the top, but i plan on making something for eveyone to sign and maybe a lil speach and hug ( Norm prefers hugs over handshakes) before the trade blanket on saturday night.

Really , if it was'nt for him this event would'nt be happening.... Norm will be 82 yrs young this year and he has lived every se ond of it. Let's show him the respect he diserves.

I finally got to meet him the first time i went to marshall. I've been reading about him since I was a young boy. Always found him very interesting. An extremely kind and generous guy in person. I would be glad to help or donate anyway I can

Great idea, Mike! He is some kinda (and kind) gentleman.

Just a few things... he was making bows, arrows and flintknapping when only a handful of ppl even knew that those thinga could be done... he quit his job as a carpenter to become a professonal trapper and archery trick shot with Ron Laclair for many years. Made his living with archery and primitive living. Was a bear guide and lived in a wall tent in Michigans U.P. for over 12yrs. Taught primitive skills for college students and still is a spiritual healer for all of mankind. He not only taught me, he changed my life and guided me to be a better person.
