Update March 12, 2011- We have a winner! Congratulations to Willie Frankfort.

This year’s raffle that will take place during the Annual Meeting is comprised of the highest quality of accouterments that anyone would be proud to own.

● “Rev” Brouckson – Whisk, Pick and Powder Measure

Web Announcement – A New Annual Reception Committee is Needed.

The HCH is seeking several enthusiastic individuals to form and maintain a committee to organize the HCH Summer Reception in Pennsylvania each summer. This event has traditionally been held on Friday evening during Dixon’s Gun Making Fair, and has become a very popular gathering during Dixon’s Fair. Attendance has been over 100 for the past two years. Frank Willis has done a great job handling this event for the past six years, but is unable to continue due to growing obligations during Dixon’s Fair. Frank has graciously volunteered to serve on the new committee in an advisory capacity to help get everthing started in the right direction. 
The committee will be responsible for planning, scheduling, arrangement of the necessary food, drinks, and accommodations for the event, as well as the subsequent removal and clean-up following the event. In addition the committee chairman will coordinate with the HCH Executive Committee for all planning and execution of the event. 

Please contact Jeff Bibb at jwb58@msn.com or via phone at 434-384-9431.
