The Hawken Classic is being held on April 29-May 1, 2022 at the Historic Daniel Boone home in Defiance, Missouri. This event is the 200 year anniversary celebration of when the J&S Hawken rifle was first created by Jacob and Samuel Hawken at The Hawken Shop in St. Louis, Missouri. The event is FREE to both the public and the participants. The NMLRA and the St. Charles County Parks Department are hosting this event. There are many cost associated with putting this event on, most of which are being covered by the NMLRA and St. Charles County Park Department. The purpose of this raffle is to reduce the burden of these cost to a minimum, so that we can continue to hold this event in the future. The prizes for this raffle are donated by the vendors that are participating in the Hawken Classic.
Mark Hasty created the pouch in a red motif with a beaded weeping heart design on the flap and beads on the edging. The strap is done with red horse hair cones and includes a short starter. The horn is a older Albert “Ace” Emanuel creation. He also did the horn plug retainer in red beads. Valued at $300.
Here is the description that Paul was given by the original owner: "The plaque was conceived by Greg and Claudette Roberts, the current owners of The Hawken Shop. T If I were to take a guess, I would think that the idea of it was probably one of Claudette's, as I think she is more the artist than Greg. I would say that Greg is more the gunsmith and the gun builder. It was, I think, mostly a commercial venture, and a way to celebrate Samuel Hawken's birthday. Strangely enough, I do not recollect their doing anything for Jacob Hawken's birthday. I am sure that Greg would be able to fill you in completely at the celebration."
