April 28, 201412 yr Just to bring us back to active status the AACB is having its annual conference may 16-17http://www.appalachianblacksmiths.org The clinch river blacksmith guild located in Clinton TN is very active, friendly people and very knowledgeable.
October 11, 201411 yr We're having a 50th anniversary celebration 17-18 April 2015, at Fiddlers Grove in Lebanon, Tennessee. Free to all AACB members.
January 30, 201511 yr Author How do we move AACB to the active list? Make posts. Tell us about your upcoming events and meetings etc. Then post photos to show us what we missed by not being there. If the groups have several posts within 90 days or so we consider them active. We move the groups to the inactive list when they are inactive.
January 31, 201511 yr Author Make each event a separate post so you can read about what is of interest to you, and post to it later. Keeps things organized that way. You can look at the examples I posted today.
June 19, 201511 yr So would this chapter be covering Greeneville, TN/ Johnson city, TN? I fear I'm the only smith in my town. : /
