                The Ontario Artist Blacksmith Association is seeking
                financial assistance for the CanIRON VIII
                Opening/Closing Ceremonies. These ceremonies will
                feature some of the wonderful creations forged by
                talented artist blacksmiths from across Ontario. Your
                donation will also help provide supplies needed by
                demonstrators. 
                 
                  Auction items 
                One of the most popular events of CanIRON is our
                auction. That's why we are asking if you have any items
                to be included in the auction or our daily
                Iron-in-the-Hat draws. The auction will take place on
                Saturday, July 30th at 7 pm. Everyone is invited to drop
                by and make a bid. 
                 
                Conference program 
                We are currently in the early stages of developing our
                conference programs. With an anticipated attendance of
                about 1,200 people during the course of the 4-day
                conference, this would be a great opportunity for local
                business to sponsor the event by purchasing advertising
                space in the program. Hurry while space lasts.

                OABA and CanIRON 
                The Ontario Artist Blacksmith Association was
                established in 1982 to serve as an organization for
                local blacksmiths to exchange creative ideas, access
                teaching and learning opportunities, and provide a
                supportive network for members.  
                CanIRON is the bi-annual national blacksmith's
                conference, which moves across Canada for each session.
                Last seen in Ontario in 2003, CanIRON 8 will build on
                the successful lessons of past conferences. 
                 
                CanIRON VIII is open to paid registrations, with aspects
                open to the general public : 
                Canadian and international demonstrators showcasing
                their skills and knowledge  
                Feature demonstrations, lectures and teaching stations  
                An auction and daily draws
