Friday-Saturday
April 22-23, 2011
Museum of Appalachia, Norris, ,TN
The 32nd Show was one of the best shows that we can remember. They have all been good, but this show was outstanding. Boo and Wayne Elliott are most gracious hosts and with help and support from Buford and Barbara Blanton and Andy Mock the show was quite an event. Friday night's barbecue on the grounds was the perfect way to end the day.
Be sure to mark the date now for next year's show.

Saturday highlights included a talk by Randle Pearce on an outstanding Baxter Bean rifle whose history can be traced back to nearby Cades Cove. The rifle and all accessories were available for viewing both prior to and after the talk.
Buford Blanton displayed the work of the late Ed Thomas.
Another Ed Thomas rifle was displayed on Bill Moore's table.
Henry Bishop's outstanding display for the Kentucky Rifle Foundation.
Rick Lambert was photographing for the CLA American Tradition Magazine all weekend. Many of the fine antique and contemporary pieces were selected for inclusion in the next issue.
Gun No. 21 on pages 104 and 105 from "Longrifles of North Carolina" by John Bivins, Jr. was in attendance at the show.
