The 2012 Dixon’s Gunmakers Fair is over and we have the winners of the HCH Raffle. I want to thank the following people for their generous contribution to the guild’s raffle:

• Jeff Bibb for the Iredell County, NC pouch
• Billy Griner for the Rowan County, NC horn
• Mark Ewing for the lathe-turned powder measure
• Jeff Bottiger for the pick and brush set

This complete set was amazing and everyone who saw it really admired the craftsmanship.  

I am also pleased to announce that from the kindness of some other members we were able to give away three more prizes- a sash by Kris Polizzi and two really nice powder measures made from antler by Terry Morgan. These three extra pieces are a nice testament to the craftsmanship that is in our guild.

Now to congratulate all the winners:

• Walt Morgis of VA for winning the bag and horn set
• Rachael Pease of IN for winning the sash
• Lawrence Wlazlo of NJ for winning the 60 grain powder measure
• Richard Lyle of PA for winning the 20grain powder measure
