A Great Day at a Great Place
I have been letting people know through this column of the outdoorsman’s swap meet I am holding at our now-finished ‘nature centermuseum’ building a mile south of Houston, Missouri, on Hwy 63, come Saturday, October 26. We have spaces for a half dozen more “vendors”. Vendors, being someone who brings a table and sells outdoor gear… old fishing lures, old guns, etc. There is no cost so if you want to come join us, please let me know so I can save you one of those spaces. If you have an old gun or two, or only a few fishing items, or any kind of antiques (old tools, old paddles, etc.), bring them and I will try to sell them for you at my table.
