Join us at The Gunmakers’ Fair at Kempton.

July 29-31, 2022

As the temperatures start to rise, thoughts of great summer activates start floating into our daydreams. After the disappointment of having to cancel the last two Summer Receptions, we are more than happy to announce that this great tradition is back! As you all should have heard by now, The HCH, along with three other organizations have sponsored a new Summer event- The Gunmaker’s Fair at Kempton. As one of the sponsors, it’s more important than ever for us to make sure this event is a success! We hope to see many members there!

The Summer Reception will take place Friday, July 29th at 6 PM on the grounds of the Kempton Community Center.  This is the same location as the Gunmakers’ Fair, so no need to travel anywhere else for the dinner.  Dinner will be catered by the Kempton Kitchen with a buffet that will include:  Salad bar, pulled pork, baked chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and green beans, rolls along with coffee, ice tea, water and assorted desserts.  Also available will be non-alcoholic drinks, beer and wine.  In continuing with the HCH anniversary celebration, we will be offering samplings of five 18th century punches to include Fish House, Rum, Gin, Arrack and whiskey.

If you have not registered for the Summer Reception, you can do so via PayPal by using this form.

            This year’s raffle consists of a collaborative horn and bag set crafted and donated to the Guild by members and supporters. Daniel Boling has created a elegant York County Screw-tip horn engraved by John DeWald.  It will be paired with a wonderfully crafted bag by Shelly Gier. Tickets will be $5.00 each or a sheet of 5 for $20.

Print off and mail in raffle tickets here.

 

During the evening reception we will also hold an auction for an amazing set including a horn tobacco box, created and donated by Billy Griner, and a brass tamper paired with a beautifully crafted pipe with a custom case donated by Manfred Schmitz.
