2009 Albany, Ga. Artifact Show

[Corner Notch]

I just wanted to let everyone know that there will be an artifacts show in Albany, Georgia this year as of right now it will be at the same location that is has been for the last few years. Hasan Shrine Temple ,1822 Palmyra Road, Albany, GA 31701. The only issue that we have is the date. Looks like the only 2 available dates will be either Sept. 5th - (Which is Labor Day Weekend) or Oct. 31st - (Which is Halloween). Give me some feedback on these 2 dates so we can go ahead and reserve the building within the next week or so.
Thanks,
David Griffin

[lafuzz]

Just make sure the 31st isn't opening day of deer season. That would be my pic of the dates.

[Corner Notch]

Opening day of gun season for deer this year is October 17th.

[jwarre]

I think Oct.31 would bring a better crowd, since trick or treating won't start until dark. I am sure there will be many plans for labor day all ready.

[old creek warrior]

OCT.31st.

[bigpond]

DG, I like the Oct. 31 st. date also.

[Hernandoman]

Food for thought.....anytime you cut into a Saturday of gun season, you are going to affect attendance, especially in the early hours of the show. Even more so, early in the season. Just my two cents. If the only other weekend is Labor Day weekend, thats no good at all.

I am glad to see someone take the lead and keep this show going and it needs to be someone from the Albany area to do the best job.

Let me know how I can be of assistance. Glad to do what I can.

[serpio1]

Good deal David........ I would say 31st as well see ya there.

[Corner Notch]

OCT. 31st it is. If all goes well at this show, we will go ahead and book the building in advance. So we can have the show one or two weeks right before deer season kicks off.
Look forward to seeing you all there.
Thanks,
David Griffin
Give me a call if you have any questions.

[Corner Notch]

Here is a copy of the updated Flyer for the show. Email me at davidgriffin505@hotmail.com if you would like a PDF, word document, etc. I can get you some copies made but keep in mind they are kind of expensive, right now staples has a promation for .05 cents a copy (online submission) untill Sept. 19th after that I believe it goes up to .09 cents a copy. Thanks David Griffin

[serpio1]

Very Nice! it's going to be an Awesome Show!

[Corner Notch]

Just had 700 flyers printed out. Let me know if you would like any flyers to help advertise for the show.

I am going to shoot for a 100 table show as of now I have sold 48 tables.

I will do a little work and see what motel will be the best to stay at for you out of towners.

All the information will be right here in this thread.

Thanks,

[superimpactor]

Know 4 shaw that if i'm there there will be an EPIC PRESHOW

[swampwalker49]

Is there a place we could get together for the Fla, Ga. Game after the show ?

[lafuzz]

David please e-mail the motel info to John Sowell. He is finishing the newsletter and needs it.
flintriverrat@yahoo.com

[Corner Notch]

OK I will be sure to e-mail it to him as well. I have negotiated some room rates (for Oct. 30th )with the manager at the:

AMERICA'S BEST VALUE INN
2586 N. Slappey Blvd.
Phone 229-435-6859

email: bestvalueinnalbany@yahoo.com

The rooms will be:
$43.90 after tax for a single (King) size bed
and
$50.15 after tax for a double (full ) bed room

I am sure that there will be a preshow at the motel in somebody's room.

[flflint]

Glad you moved back to ABVI,that Stuper 8 was a dump last year.
I had a room in the basement,someone locked their keys in their truck,bannerstone's were lost in a van,points were left in the wrong rooms,big crowd outside.Alot of chaos but amazingly no one went to jail.
Let's see if we can top all that this year! LOL

[Matthew]

For those of you coming from the north of Albany this is the same day as the chicken pot pie festival in smithville, should be a great place to grab some food on the way back home.

[old creek warrior]

I like the banner ad for the show.Very catchy with the colors and everything!!!

[Hernandoman]

Good job on the banner Scott..... Spread the word on the Albany show!

[lafuzz]

Nice banner Scott. Remember it is time to elect officers for TSAS at the Albany show. We will need to meet after the show.

[Matthew]

I've tried following links to TSAS and none of the sites work. Is there a valid one and is there going to be a way to join at the show if i want to?

[lafuzz]

Anytime you want to join send 15.00 to TSAS
PO Box 865

Include mailing address for newsletters.
Thanks,

Is anyone considering name tags for the Albany show? I know most everyone knows each other already but there are some faces that I haven't connected to names. I would hope that I'm not the only person out here that doesn't know everyone in the amateur collection society.

[mtskinner]

I'll second the name tags; they worked great at the Dothan show!

[bigpond]

Beautiful pix of the Flint and a smoker Notch.! Yep the name tags are great...just make sure everyone puts one on.

[Corner Notch]

YEAH I think name tags will be a good idea I will have them at the doors as you walk in.

It worked good in Dothan to connect faces with names.

I am also thinking about having basically the same type of sack lunch; BAR-B-QUE sandwiches, chips, drink, pickle, and a cookie for 5 bucks. Something simple yet tasty.

Wish I had some things to raffle off as well. Don't know what I am going to do about that yet. Maybe some stuff for the kids would be great.....

Let me know if you guys have any other ideas......

HH those peanuts looked nice...hope they grade out good....

[Hernandoman]

We will give you a couple of artifact posters for door prizes...

[rock hound]

I have a model of a teepee I would like to give to any kid.

[Corner Notch]

Sounds good Rock Hound

Serpio is gonna bring some cases and a few points.

This show is open to everyone right? You don't have to be a master collector with a bazillion points in your collection to go?

[Corner Notch]

anyone is welcome...

Most master collecters I know have at least elevendee gazillion points in their collections JK

Look forward to seeing you there.

[Corner Notch]

There will be a plaque for:

1) Best of Show

2) Best Find by Youth

3) Best Find of 2009

4) Best Pickwick

5) Best Pottery

[Hernandoman]

A Boggy I bought today at the show

[bigpond]

Enjoyed the show David! Yeah, Kevin I snoozed on that trio of nice points. Thanks for all who helped put on the show!

[Hernandoman]

Heres a few

[Hernandoman]

Check out this S.E. Alabama Creek point - they might get a lil bigger but they dont get any better than this onehttp://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu261/Hernandoman/DSC08538.jpg

[lafuzz]

Had a great time David, thanks for all the hard work.

[Hernandoman]

[Hernandoman]

Got to hold this one today, scandalous !http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu261/Hernandoman/DSC08587.jpg

[lafuzz]

That really was a killer clovis. You could see how trans w/o even using a light. The sandy was super thin and really nice.

[L.Wiggins]

Thanks David for the great show and raffle tickets!THose are some nice points your holding Kevin!:eek:

[fatman]

Looks like fun. I had to work.

[mtskinner]

[Corner Notch]

Thanks Everyone! We will do it big again next year.

[bigpond]

[Newt]

It looks as if it wouldn't penetrate that far.
Glad ya'll had a good time.
Newt

[L.Wiggins]

Yeah he rubbed that abbey all the way home!It really has a polish now!!:eek:

[flflint]

Great Show David! Thanks for all the effort you went to.
Move it to a better date and it will only get better.
All I got at the show was a rock,a petrified wood beauty! Thanks Chris!

[jameskey]

Nice Abby Terence!

[PaleoDude]

Thats was the coolest piece of wood I have seen!!!!! I think it would look better on your nightstand at home!

[Matthew]

Anyone have any more pictures? I'd love to see them. I really wanted to make this show but my grandmother passed away.

Any collector in my area (marion county GA) who doesn't mind a newbie looking at their stuff please PM me.

[serpio1]

Thanks Allen , I know you liked it ....it's a beauty , just send it back my way when you get tired of it.

[Hernandoman]

I have some more pics but I got to find the time to post them....

[Hernandoman]

heres one more from the Albany showhttp://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu261/Hernandoman/pot-1.jpg

[Hernandoman]

A couple of very interesting photos from the Albany show....

[Hernandoman]

I havent seen one of these in a while...

[Gutz54]

That must be the killer pot i heard about. Kevin-- What's that horn looking thing-- looks like it's copper?? I also heard someone brought in a 6 in. smoking Bolen? Wish I could of made the show

[Hernandoman]

Its a copper pipe, thought to possibly be English or Scottish in origin, found in S. Georgia

[mtskinner]

Kevin, was that kinchafoonee unifaced?

[Matthew]

Looks like there was some great stuff there. Sorry I missed it. Does Columbus do a show?

[Hernandoman]

No, the Kinch was not unifaced but none of the examples I recall, are uniface.

[lafuzz]

Jacky Fuller usually does a show in March in Columbus, Ga.

[fatman]

Matthew, I will also be having a show in Plains in January. I used to deer hunt in Marion county, some nice artifact spots over that way! Came through there today going up to Peachtree City.

[Corner Notch]

Did anyone get a chance to see those gords that Mrs. Muskgrove brought in? They were extremly beauitiful. I had to get my mom one. Hank post some pics I know you went home with a few. Going to see if we can get her to do some more for the show next year.

[serpio1]

Those were Beautiful with such awesome detail...Yeah Hank went home with some.

[sandchip]

She's an artist no doubt. Beautiful work.

[Corner Notch]

[bigpond]

DG, I havn't seen those things since the show!!! I think they are on display @ Lynn's school for some kind of fundraiser!!! I will take some pix as soon as I see 'em again! The artwork is SUPERIOR!! I fell in love with 'em soon as I spotted them @ the show! What a sweet lady! ;)

[lafuzz]

Its amazing how gifted some people are. Very beautiful.

[John Richburg]

How can someone purchase some of these?

[Corner Notch]

Some of them that were pictured have already been purchased.But she has more. Give me a call 229-869-8954 and I will get you in touch with Mrs. Muskgrove.

[Fossil Hunter]

A couple of very interesting photos from the Albany show....
The copper object, I'm pretty sure it's a Benjaman Harbenson tea kettle spout.

[Hernandoman]

It may be, I know little to nothing about copper artifacts and little about pioneer/settler/contact period "white man" artifacts.
