Gentlemen & Ladies, do we have thoughts on a hotel for this year. Do not recall which one we were at last year, but was pretty good and a decent restaurant next door. Vin Battaglia will once again join me with a few of his Parkers. I have let Rock Mountain know we are coming. So, appreciate any thoughts on a hotel, and we look forward to seeing you at the Northern. Perhaps Jeff can beat me again with my own gun. ;-)

If you stayed at the hotel next to a restaurant, that would be the Hampton Inn (PGCA is staying there) and the restaurant next door is Remington's. Excellent food and the owner/chef is a member here. Both hotels in Tunkhannock are 20 minutes (tops) from us.

Greg,
I was hoping you had forgotten that, so I could borrow it again!

There will be a "South Dakota Flush" event set up on the 5-Stand/Games area just for fun. You can run 1 to 6 shooters at a time. No scoring, no trophies, just fun!! If you want to try a gun before you buy it, you can try it there, without shooting a Flush. If you don't get enough shotgun fun it's your own fault!!

Mike,
You have almost too many events to remember. I think I need to do some more reloading before heading west. Do to work obligations Deb and I can't be there until Friday morning but we will set up a PGCA table so if any of our members would like to display some guns or any other Parker items please bring the to the table. The long range weather forecast looks really good so this should be a great weekend of shooting and fun.
