A limited number of Ken Smith’s, “Buffalo River Handbook, 2nd edition”, updated and expanded, will be available for purchase at the meeting for $30 a copy. One of the copies will be given as a door prize at the meeting so plan on being there! For directions contact Dave or Maria at bearpenfarm@yahoo.com
