The 3rd Annual Antique Rifle and Indian Artifact show will be held on Saturday, August 16th at our usual location at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds located on route 28 approximately 1 mile north of Interstate 80 exit 81. The show will run from 9:00 am until 4:00 PM. Exhibitor setup will begin at 7:00 AM.

This year, the event will be expanding to two full buildings with the gun exhibitors and vendors in the same building as last year. We have again joined forces with the North Fork Chapter #29, of the Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology which will be presenting an Indian Artifacts show in a separate but adjoining building allowing us to significantly increase the space and number of available tables. Other outdoor events on location will include an open atlatl competition and living history demonstrations by the Jefferson County Longrifles. Visitors will access both shows and events with a single small gate fee. Children under 16 are free. In 2007 over 800 people visited this event.

We are again limiting the Gun show and sale to weapons and accouterments of a pre-1898 vintage or suitable reproduction of such. The Indian Artifact show is in an exhibit format only and we are asking that if you decide to be a vendor at the gun show to please not include authentic artifacts of Native American origin in your sales. Reproduction and replicated items however are permitted.

Vendor tables are $20.00 each and Exhibitor tables as always are free. If you have any questions about the show,or would like to participate as a vendor or exhibitor, please contact kenburkett@comcast.net, or at (814) 365-5563, or the History Center at (814) 849-0077.
