Indoor rendezvous at Oshkosh

[Flintlock]

Went up to Oshkosh Expo Center this morning to the indoor Rendezvous. This is a very interesting place to do a little period correct shopping or pick up some items for blackpowder shooting/hjunting. I found a nice possibles bag and a patch knife for less than 65 dollars It is usually held about the same weekend every year. FUN !

Not sure if it is similar to the one you went to but Kenosha has a really great Rendezvous each year that the kids and I have a lot of fun going to. In fact several years ago my youngest daughter met and sat with a nice lady that was knitting and taught my daughter how to knit also. Great time.

Glad to hear you enjoyed Oshkosh. I was not able to get there this year, but I have usually found some item I just had to buy!
