An early Morning at SMKW with the Case Forum
I don't know if you have ever attended a Case event but the early morning line up is as much fun as the event itself. I did not want to wake Donnie up early so I hitched a ride with Ronnie Newsome and his wonderful bride!
The knife talkin' & swappin' going on before 8 am is made fun by the love of knives hanging out on this porch.
So here is a few few shots of how SMKW gets set up for an event like this event and how the line looked before the doors opened.

They let me in during set up :)
The staff at SMKW works hard to set these events up and have everything ready when you walk in the door

Before the doors even open SMKW and Case are at the mic. This is the 35th year of the CCC and everyone wanted to say Thanks!
And for those of you not aware Case has a new President this was his first Case Event

Much like iKC the Case Forum members have spent many hours online together and they spend a good amount of time together at these types of shows. They are very much like an extended family. I got a great pic today. This is Maury from Case, Kevin Pipes son Tyler and the third generation Liam Pipes getting his custom Case shirt to wear today

The line stayed full until about 1130 and everyone was enjoying the time together
