2022 Banquet - Page 4

I know I’ll be going to the 2022 Annual Meeting and Banquet even though I don’t know the date, place or time. There are some really good suggestions in this thread.

I would like to get back to the "old days" when all active members who were within reasonable travelling distance would attend the annual meeting. As far as venues go, how about the home base of a fraternal organization, like we did at Easton, Maryland at the American Legion hall I think it was. They even provided some if not all of the catering services, as well as clean up and related services. Many small towns have such venues that we can consider. I'm with Mike F., willing and able to attend, no matter where or when.

[QUOTE=Bill Murphy;343828]I found it very inconvenient to finish the last day of the event at Ernies, drive probably forty miles north to the banquet, convene another night at the hotel, then drive home, past Ernies, adding a hotel stay and probably eighty miles and a day to my trip to a great event. I know there was discussion about this banquet, but I think that it actually took place as I described it. Please, let's not do it that way again.[/QUOTE

BILL, You are 100 per cent correct.

Makes me wonder if this was done as a result of a conflict with the fair grounds and scheduling or have even more exhibitors bowed out. Sad really as this used to be one of the best shows in the country IMO.

Hausmanns has been in a decline the past three years.This weekend was "NOT GOOD". LOW Attendance and not many Exhibitors. Worst I have seen in last 15 Years!

I’ve been there one time only and that was this past June . I’ve been to Koneski Acres twice . I like the courses and the shooting more at Rock Mountain but I gotta say a lot more vendors at Hausemann’s .
