I'll start a standalone thread in the main C&HK forum for more visuals and specifics.
 
A new show this year will be "The Central States Hammer-In & Knife Show". This is the result of the combined efforts of the custom knife organizations from MO, KS, OK, & AR. It is designed to be a traveling show being held in each state every four years. It is a one-day event running from 9am-4pm with continuous demonstrations as well as the knife show followed by a cutting competition at 4pm.
[Admission to both the knife show & hammer-in is free to the public.]

The date set this year is Saturday, Sept.9 at The Finley River Park in Ozark, MO.
