[Bill Coye]

oh brother I don't know why you think the guy in front with the bald head and all the customers should be shown so much?? Les Jorge was on his shirt????????????
Keep them coming Cal

Aw comon' Mike. It's not that bad

My name tag said "Wes Jorge". I think it's the only reason I sold a knife

Les asked for 5% of the take...that's reasonable.

Well, I am not the official spokesman for KGA, but at our last meeting, we canceled the knife show for this year. I am sure that one of the officers will come along in a bit and explain it to ya.

 

[SBuzek]

Thanks Cal,that too bad I was looking forward to meeting some of yall.

Stan, we have shop tours twice a year. They are loads of fun. Lots of fun, food, and a guy might learn something too. I look forward to going. If you will PM me your email address, I will get Ray to add you to the list of folks to get info on the shop tour.

Stan we had such an unpleasant situation with the Civic Center that we started looking for another place to have it. We thought we had a good place set up at the fairgrounds but after a month of talking and getting info, all of a sudden we were told the date open that we could live with , suddenly was not available.
We do not want to have it in some unlight agenda so are still looking.

 

[SBuzek]

Thanks Mike I fully understand and hope yall can get things worked out withthe fair gtounds.That would be a goood place to hold it.If yall get one together for next year let me know.
Stan
