Saturday, June 3, (option 1) Car Pool to Atlanta to Blade, returning late that night

Saturday June 3 (option 2) barn raising to put tin on another 10’x40’ section of the picnic shelter, (making it 40’x40’ total)




Sunday, June 4 Beginners day. 10-3, Basic instruction classes for wanna be engravers, this will cover hobo nickels, gun/knife work, and jewelry

4-9? 10? 11? Supper, fellowship, campfire, picking and grinning




Monday June 5, Advance seminars on engraving, casting, or other types of metal forming or carving. Table displays, gun shooting and other fun things.




Tuesday June 6 Workshop on the Waters, Canoe trip on the nearby Sequatchie River, bring your floating ball vises

I had heard of this Engrave-In from a few years ago, but found nothing online about it and assumed it had expired.

Glad to find the event yet exists. Nearly in my back yard. I'll be there for sure.

Where/when/how do we find a schedule of fees? I emailed you eight days ago, before I found out there was or had been an Engrave In.

I'm learning via video and FEGA seminar tapes now (VHS whoot!). Maybe can make better scratches by then.

I'm planning on making it this year. Health is somewhat stabilized so I may be able to help with the barn raising! supervise maybe?

I will be there, Scott. I plan to set up a FEGA registration table and banners similar to last year. Do you have an extra table, or shall I bring my own? I can bring extension cords for electicity. I'll see if Tim and Jerry will be traveling with me and whoever else I can bring from the midwest.

Thanks,
