To our incredible Texas Gun and Knife Show community and family.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of the Texas Gun and Knife Show scheduled for July 12-13, 2025, at the Happy State Bank Expo Hall in Kerrville, Texas. The devastating floods that struck Kerr County and the Texas Hill Country on July 4, 2025, have left our community reeling from an unimaginable loss of life. Our thoughts and our Prayers are with the families, friends, and loved ones affected by this catastrophic event.
The strength and resilience of our close-knit community inspire us all, and we lift up in prayer the tireless first responders—hundreds of personnel from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas National Guard, U.S. Coast Guard, and local agencies—who have rescued over 850 people and continue their brave efforts. We pray for their safety, strength, and endurance as they work tirelessly to bring hope and healing.
We urge our community to channel all available resources—time, donations, and support—to the organizations leading the rescue and recovery efforts.
Below are vetted organizations actively providing relief to those impacted by the floods:
1. Community Foundation of Texas Hill Country - The Kerr County Flood Relief Fund supports relief and rebuilding in Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt, Center Point, and Comfort. All donations are tax-deductible. Donate Here https://www.communityfoundation.net/

With deepest sympathy and unwavering support,
