We just went to the county fair yesterday and I think I saw your guys cousins in the poultry barn. What a racket, hope yours is a bit more subdued.

There not as bad as peacocks with there racket .but your right mine is more subdeud

Nothing like a coutry show to vist hope you enjoyed it

Theres a couty show on soon here that has a stand with stickmakers on displaying there work and selling the sticks .They also judge the sticks in different catorgaries with thw main type being rams horn ,markets sticks/crooks and thumb sticks

They usually get a couple of hundred entrys and they guys stand about evaluating them its quite amusing .there isnt many carved sticks as there is only two of us that carve them but the get other entries from out of the county and its good to meet up with people of simular interests and ideas
