North Georgia Knap-in and Primitive Arts Festival

Apr. 23-26, 2009, held at Gatewood Park in Cartersville, GA. 

Take I-75 to Exit 290 (Rome/Canton).  Go east (that's a right turn if you're heading north on 75) about 300 yards, then turn right on 20 spur.  Follow for several miles through residences, then it will become wooded.  Turn left towards Gatewood Park (you'll see signs saying "arrowhead makers show").  Follow for about 2 miles, then you'll enter the park grounds.  Parking and attendance is free.  Booth spaces are $20 or $25 (I can't remember which) if you want to sell your wares. 

There will be flintknapping demonstrations, atl-atl demos as well as vendors selling stone from all over the U.S.  Booths will have all kinds of stuff for sale, including flintknapping tools, books, videos, shirts, bows, arrows, bowstaves, raw and slabbed stone, fiber optic glass slabs, obsidian, finished flintknapped art, etc.. etc... etc...
