Hello to all...hope it's okay to post this on the forge.  We belong to 
the Saskatchewan Chapter of the Western Canadian Blacksmiths' Guild.  We're 
going to be taking a three week holiday beginning
the end of the month and we'll be travelling from Saskatchewan to Alberta 
to British Columbia, through Washington, down the west coast through the 
Napa Valley, up to Las Vegas and home.  We're wondering if there are any 
blacksmithing events that might be happening that we should try to stumble 
upon?
  
Our schedule is pretty flexible; we've got a few places that we have to be 
during the trip (like we HAVE to celebrate our 20th wedding 
anniversary in Napa, and we HAVE to celebrate Rick's 50th birthday in Las 
Vegas on September 15!!!)

Any places of interest that we absolutely MUST see?

We're also looking for a cone mandrel...anyone know of one that might be 
for sale along the route?

Thanks for any information.  Just send directly to us as I don't expect 
the rest of the group might be interested in our holiday 
plans...we'll invite you all in to see our home movies when we're back
