The Annual Business Meeting will start shortly after 10:00 AM.

Following the meeting, we will kick off the knife judging competition. After that, it's time to eat! The KCKA will be providing the meal, so bring your appetite. If you enjoy delicious smoked meats and all the fixings, you're in for a treat—BBQ is on the menu!

After lunch, we will move into the competition portion of the event. This year, we have a variety of friendly contests, including:

• A blade sports-style cutting competition

• A blacksmith-style forging competition

Following the competitions, we will present the awards. This year, we have secured some exciting donations for several of the awards, so bring your competitive spirit and take your shot at winning some awesome prizes—along with bragging rights, of course!
