Howdy All! It's that time of the year to announce the 2008 annual Wolverine Knife Collectors Club show in Novi Michigan. 250 tables worth of show. Plus a combo twofer special. The Michigan Antique Arms Show will be sharing the hall with us. More to look at and more foot traffic for Makers and Dealers. That comes out to be a grand total of 750 tables to drool over.

Hey Tom,

I'll be there! Yurco will be too, so we know it'll be a good time. Got the list yet? WKCC Show and the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot are my two favorite events, and this year they are back to back. No rest for the wicked! You should join me at the Creek if you can.
 
O.K. Gang, below is the list for the show. If you see anything in error or someone that needs to be added please let me know. Thanks, Tom
