| BIG BUCK CLASSIC |
| JERRY PETTY - SPECIAL EVENTS CHAIRMAN |
Members of the Arkansas Knifemakers Association will give knife forging, grinding, and cutting demonstrations. The State of Arkansas has more Master Smiths than any other state in the Union!
A great opportunity for the Arkansas Knifemakers Association and its members!
The Arkansas Knife Makers Association has been invited to participate in the January 23-25, 2009 Big Buck Classic. We will have a prime location just outside the main entry into Barton Coliseum, located at the State Fair Grounds in Little Rock, AR. The attendance at this event is expected to be around 40,000! See the Big Buck Classic website at www.bigbuckclassic.com for the times and other special events.
We will be giving grinding, forging and cutting demonstrations. The cutting demos will be advertised and on the main stage in Barton Coliseum each day. The number of demos will depend upon how many volunteers we can get to help!
Steve “Wildman” Wilson with the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission is planning on having a camera crew film various aspects of our demonstrations and feature these activities on his television show just prior to the AKA Knife Show in February, 2009! One or more of us might even be given the opportunity to appear on TV with Steve!
We will need volunteers for the following: 1. On stage Cutting Demonstrations. 2. Grinding demonstrations at our booth. 3. Forging demonstrations 4. Members to answer questions and educate on-lookers about the knife making process.
We will not be selling knives at the event, but you can certainly pass out business cards and take orders!
If you have any questions or want to participate, please contact Jerry Petty at work (501-791-2860), home (501-221-9796) or email at littlerock@cratersandfreighters.com
