I was lurking around a couple weeks back and saw something about a knap in in FL. Does anyone know what Im talking about, where and when it is and how I can get an invitation (if such things are necessary)
Thanks
-
There will be one in Dade City either the end of January or the first weekend of Febuary I think. I'm not sure of the exact date. It will be at the River Park on the Withlacootchee.
-
I think its feb. 17 18 & 19 in Dade City. I dont have anyone to call about it though
-
ok, does anyone know the dates?
-
I've been having trouble figuring it out exactly also.
-
well if anyone comes up with a numb er on who to call, let us all know..lol I can check the local places and look for a flyer since I am probably the closest one
-
It's Febuary 17- 19. One side will be knappers and the other side will be Rendevous'rs
-
oohhh great..what do I qualify as... a knapper or a rendesvo......er lol For where will I know where to set up..lol
-
Set up with me and bonepile, it would be real nice to talk Claude into sliding under the tarps, too. I have a tarp and 10x10 canopy too. I think this time I might be able to sell some blackpowder and skins. Parnel wil be there too and I'm camping
-
Would this be a good place to go find some Knapping help? Also what kind of black powder stuff you selling mullet
-
triggerfinger, it will be an excellent place to find knapping help, rocks, a good time and I need to dig through all of my BP stuff first. :)

I will be at Dade City for sure, And I will most likely camp even though I live close.

-
I'll be at the TBOF shoot also.

Wow! forgot all about that one. Let me check the date.
if it's the 21st, yea. But, I think that's the Alifia Rendevous, also :-\
-
I didnt know about that one. I looked it up. Now is that one where they get all upset if your not 100% period dressed? looks like a lot of fun, but I already comitted to the charity shoot..hmmmm
-
They open it to the public the last Friday and Saturday. It's a good time to pick up some good rock, osage, firs, antlers. And I forgot, I have an all day class on the 28th.
-
Wow. You guys got a bunch happening in Florida coming soon
-
Eleven more days, I'm looking forward to it this year. ;D
-
wish I could make it down this year........just a little short on money these days
-
I wish you could to, Curt, like to see you again. And I think this one is going to be good this year.
-
glad to see they changed it from Valentines day weekend. I wont be setting up at any of the shows this year. BUT next year I will be ready again. I love the Sopchoppy knap-in the best. Except for the 24 degree weather we had last time I went
-
Are you coming up this weekend, Jeff?
-
if I dont have to work, I will go for a visit to Dade, but with all this increase in foreclosures I dont have any time off. I find TONS of cool stuff people leave behind but that depresses me :'(
-

we did decide for sure that dade city was this upcoming wkend right? wkend of the 17th? i havnt seen a flyer or ne thing. its off of 98 isnt it? been a few years now since ive been
-
Ryan, yea, off 98. Coming in from the north like I think you will, turn on the truck bypass road and then onto River road past the Pizza Hut. I'm going up tomorow, have to work 3 hours in the morning. If I can't get the campsite under the big Live Oak, Roger, Steve and Angie, and I camped under last year I'm going to try and snag a Campsite close. Not sure how many people will be there with it being an 1840 Rendevous also.
