The American farriers Association Convention will take place in Portland Oregon from Feb. 24 through Feb 28 2010.
The venue is dynamic and full of good information for the farriers who attend.
I look forward to meeting old friends and making new friends.
Hope to see many of you there.
If I can help or make it a better learning experience let me know.
Jack Millman, CJF
AFA Region 5 BOD Representative

well, i got back yesterday. i only went down for the day. the competion was really cool, i have never witnessed one before and the forgeing skills were really something to see.

i took in a couple of lectures that i thought were pretty informative then headed to the market place for a little shopping. bought me a new driving hammer (NC Cavalry Mule) and a pair of NC 3/8 fire tongs. (i've only ever had diamond fire tongs so these are a real step up for me, and i've been using the same Nortic Forge hammer since 1995. i hope i like the new one)

when i stopped by the delta shoe display, the guy running it asked me if i had drove in vs flew and as soon as i said that i had indeed drove in; he off loaded 20 pairs of shoes on me! what a score!

i met Jack Evers, though i don't think he recognised my name. he was very polite and friendly, i also ran into Trevor Hall, that guy is a class act,

sorry i missed you Baron.

i walked away with a renewed respect for the AFA and am grateful that they allowed me the opurtunity to attend.
