The first ever Green Country Artifact Show was held April 22, 2006 at the Pryor American Legion. It was a smashing success with a very large "walk-in" crowd. We plan on having another show soon, perhaps this fall! So be sure to plan ahead and try to attend! Here are a few pics from the April show. Unfortunately I didn't take alot of these pics until the show was almost over, so I missed alot of people. I hope to Click on the pics to enlarge - Matt
