BCHC is excited to confirm that TrailMeister, Robert Eversole, will be one of our featured clinicians at 2025 Rendezvous in Corning on April 11-13.

TrailMeister will be hosting a mohair cinch-making clinic at Rendezvous and pre-registration is now open for this clinic via the TrailMeister website

The cinch-making clinic costs $350 and is limited to 16 participants. A $100 deposit is required to secure a spot in this clinic. If this cinch-making clinic fills at 16 participants, BCHC will earn $2,100.
