Details about this year's West Coast Horn Fair
Actually, we plan on having more than one auction. The first one will be for the Sow's Ear/Silk Purse Horn by Scott Morrison. Read the whole story of this incredible horn on the West Coast Horn Fair Web Page and then come to the Fair with your bidding jacket on, because the action just might get hot and heavy!
Then the demonstration horns that were made on Saturday are going to be put up for auction. This will be a rare chance to own a very collectable powder horn.
