Visit Thunderbird Atlatl at the Flint River Knapin in Georgia February 22 to 23

Thunderbird Atlatl will be at the Flint River Knapin in Georgia Saturday, February 22, to Sunday, February 23.

This is the second year for the Knapin which takes place at the Whigham Community Club, 267 East Broad Avenue, Whigham, Georgia. Admission is $5. Children 5 and under are free.

There will be primitive arts and crafts, food vendors, demonstrations, modern arrowheads, lithic arts and atlatl demonstrations throughout the weekend.

Silver River Knapin Cancelled!

The Silver River Knapin has been cancelled for 2024. We will try to set up an atlatl contest in the Gainesville, Florida area. Watch for updates.

Silver River sent out the following annoucement:

,”After a lot of consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Silver River Knap-In and Prehistoric Arts festival this weekend due to the persistent rainy weather forecast on Saturday and Sunday. We know from experience this will result in a very low attendance. We rely on gate admission income to cover event expenses.
The event will not be rescheduled but we do plan to hold it as normal in 2025. We apologize for this but we wanted to notify everyone in advance so that plans could be changed.
There is another knap-in the following weekend near the Flint River in Georgia. For more information about that event please contact John Lane at flintriverknapin@gmail.com.
If you are from out of state and are in need of camping accommodations this weekend, please call me here at the museum so that we can discuss options with you (352) 236-5401.
Thank you all and we are sorry for any problems this causes.”
