For a dozen years now, some friends and I have been doing a public display of swords, knives and other arms. It has been a great opportunity to interface with the public regarding collecting and history. Modern and antique swords and knives. Spears, hammers, etc.
The event is held annually at
The Manville Sportsmen's Rod and Gun Club There are various club activities and vendors. This is a public event with dollar ticket club activities such as rifle, archery, hawk tossing and more. Entry is free and there is a public parking lot with shuttles that run the two blocks to the club.
No two years have been the same but there are often militia re-enactors, a blacksmith, drum circle from a visiting tribe, etc. The club has always welcomed other vendors and displays. If interested in setting up those days, please contact the club. Space is first come first served but the main field is rarely crowded, with other areas available.
Others wanting to join our blade tables are welcome. Let me know. If bringing many items, extra tables and chairs are always helpful. While there are often targets to cut, contributions are always welcome. I am usually an early bird and setting up by about 8am both days. We have been setting up next to the club house and hawk tossing.
I will post a flyer once they publish one.
Cheers
GC
