2014 QuadState Roundup
Each year one of the largest Blacksmithing Conferences in North America occurs on the 3rd weekend of September at the Miami County, Ohio Fairgrounds in Troy, Ohiom USA. QuadState is organized each year by Souther Ohio Forge and Anvil and grew out of the early gatherings that founder Emmett Studebaker held on his farm. About a thousand smiths come from all over the U.S. and other countries for four days of demonstrations, vending, tailgating, forging contests, and the fellowship of celebrating our craft.
If you can only make one blacksmithing conference this year, this is the one to attend! For pictures from previous QuadState conferences, access the photo gallery.
