2011 RCCC Annual Board Meeting October 21-22
MARK YOUR CALENDARS! The RCCC Annual Board Meeting will be held October 21st and 22nd in conjunction with the annual "Rep Weekend" at Smoky Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville, Tennessee. Rep Weekend is when representatives from knife manufacturers are onsite at Smoky. This is an opportunity to interact one-on-one with representatives and get to know a little more about your favorite brands. This is the perfect time to take advantage of unadvertised specials throughout the store, giveaways and door prizes, food and cutlery demonstrations, and much, much more! If you've never been to Smoky you don't want to miss this. In addition to the focus on Rep Weekend and the Annual Board Meeting, Smoky is an awesome place to visit. They have an indoor waterfall, mounted animals and cutlery displays located throughout the store for your enjoyment.
We will have Remington knife displays set up in the National Knife Museum (located INSIDE Smoky Mountain Knife Works). This year we I'll have an exclusive Limited Edition Remington Event Single Blade, Baby Trapper available for purchase. There are limited quantities available so don't miss this opportunity to get yours. This is a great opportunity to visit with the board members, get autographs, ask questions and find out more about the club. This promises to be an event to remember. We look forward to seeing you there!
2010 Second Annual Remington Cutlery Collector's Club Event
   |
Once again this 4th of July, the National Knife Museum and Smoky Mountain Knife Works hosted the Remington Cutlery Collector's Club Annual Board Meeting. This was a 2-day event beginning at noon on July 2nd and concluding on July 3rd at the close of business. The board members were on site both days and available for autographs on the July 3rd. There was a variety of events that took place throughout the 2-day event.
This year we were excited to have onsite, the Remington Truck. If you are not familiar with the Remington Truck, it features the latest Remington firearms, ammunition and accessories and also offers hunting and shooting tips straight from Remington. Anyone who visited the truck was able to get a hand on feel of the Remington products displayed.
Smoky offered an Exclusive Limited Edition Remington Event Mini Trapper (3 ˝ closed) & Pin Set. The knife which has a genuine Damascus steel clip point blade, carbon steel spey blade with imprint commemorating the event, green smooth bone handles, brass liners, nickel silver bolsters engraved with serial number and event year is still available while supplies last.
In the National Knife Museum we had on display collectors personal Remington Collections as well as the Museums various Remington collections.
There was also a Swap Meet held outside under the tent where collectors gathered to get to know one another and make deals of a lifetime.
We had a drawing for an 887 Camo Combo Shotgun that was won by Tracy Ponce. Congratulations Tracy.
We'd like to thank all those who came out to make this event a success. We enjoyed spending time with our members, both new and old, who visited with us at Smoky this year. It was great seeing everyone and we look forward to next year.
