| May 14-18. Fort Osage knap-in. Highway 70 just east of Booneville, Missouri, at exit 111. This site is very large and has shelters, large bathrooms, showers, food concessions, and most important, it is not a swamp. We will have room to spare, and all on high ground. There will also be a swap meet at the same time that draws 500 to 1000 attendees and a tractor pull. These plus articles in all of the surrounding town newspapers should provide an abundance of potential buyers. The charge for each participant will still be $5 and hook-ups will be $20. This is a web site for the new location of the Osage knap-in that has a lot of information about the site. www.mrvsea.com |
