Here are a few pictures from our annual meeting and banquet. The venue was a neat outdoor tent. Great attendance, and the People's Choice guns were worth the price of admission.

If you've never gone to one of our annual meetings, you should put that on your bucket list.

The banquet this year was beautiful held at a new startup facility and the PGCA was their very first event. Its nice to see the PGCA supporting small businesses!

Thanks to our generous membership for supporting the Foundation with not one, but TWO book sales generating $1900 for the Parker Gun Foundation!

Special thanks to Tom Wooden, Brian Hornacek, Randy Roberts, and all of the PGCA volunteers who made the night so special.

That was a great event and so well done. As always it is nice to match faces with forum names and talk Parkers. Every time I go to the Southern and Parker Dinner/Event I like it more.

For those of you who attended the dinner and were the lucky recipient of the Parker Gun Club patch courtesy of Bobby Grilli I am attaching the instructions for ironing these on. Thanks again Bobby !!

All,


Thank you for the kind replies. It was my pleasure to donate the patches at this year's Dinner. Thank you to all who attended, and thank you to all that contribute their time and efforts to make the PGCA what it is. I am humbled to be apart of such a great organization.

I can only take credit for donating the Patches. These patches came to fruition years ago by our own Dave Fjelline, in fact many of our membership refers to the Patch as "The Fjelline Patch". Dave is a Legend in the Parker world.


Thank you all for a great dinner and time at the Southern this year.


Bobby

Allen, I am not sure if you have been before? It is wonderful, you will definitely like it.

And come home with more Parkers than you went with :)

I would love to hear more about the Kentucky Quail Gun. I once owned a CHE 16 gauge configured just like the one pictured. Serial #173,847

Harry, check the past issues of Parker Pages vol. 26 number 4. The article, Shaking Hands with the Past has the background on the gun. Please post a photo or two of your gun if you still have any. I’d love to see it.

PS The gun in question is a DHE 20 gauge.

Gary,

Thanks! I found the article and reread it. Sadly I have few pictures. They were all taken with a camera. I'll look for them.
