Nevada's Boot and Saddle Trade show will be held April 20-21, 2007 at the Elko Convention Center in Elko Nevada. Exhibitors will be showing machines, leather, leather tools, silver, jewelry, horsehair, stirrups, pads, blankets, tack, buckles, hardware, horse care products and more. Public is welcome.
Bruce Johnson supplied me with the correct dates and some more info on the show.
Also they are having a saddle class - 3 days/two evenings by Joe Benner and Alan Dewey. I talked to Joe Benner today too. They are going to be building a Wade, and showing some variations of ground seats and laying in a seat. Some of the techniques from the old Hamley and Severe shop that are a bit different than most. That is tentatively scheduled to start on Wed the 18th and go through Friday. Talking of starting the class a bit later on Fri to allow the class participants to hit the trade show first, and not miss out on the "deals". Cost for the class is $300. Deposit due by April 3rd or something like that. The Elko ranch rodeo is that weekend too. Capriola's will be hosting a social Friday evening too, kind of like Kings do in Sheridan.
