Vintagers Tomorrow, Thursday

Yup, we'll be there tomorrow, September 23, Thursday. Some of us are probably there today, getting the "worm". As Alan has instructed, the early birds should set up the tables and sweep out the leftovers from last year. I hope you can make it to the big show and especially the PGCA Annual Meeting and dinner. Everyone works very hard to make everything go as planned and we all have a good time as a result. Easton is a great little town with lots to do and lots to see.

When you are in downtown Easton, you may want to visit Jeff Pelayo's gallery at 26 W. Dover Street. He is a decoy collector, was the honored speaker at a PGCA dinner a while ago, and has a great gallery for those who like decoys, big guns, and waterfowl paraphernalia. He is a stone's throw from the gun store and Legal Spirits.

Danny and I should be arriving about 10 AM Friday morning. We are really looking forward to seeing everyone. Great gun's.... great people...a great night at the annual meeting....maybe even burn a little powder...:rolleyes:

Oh ya...Almost forgot Legal Spirits...a fish chowder to die for..:)

I'm arriving Friday AM about 7:30. Hope to catch up with a lot of you at the venue and at the PGCA Annual banquet. I'll be the quiet, shy and reserved guy you'll have to ask yourself "who was that guy?" ...

John

Ya Right.....:rolleyes: You'll be the guy that's in our faces with the camera...:rotf:

John you promised to bring your lovely bride - now you're coming alone??

JD

I have an 8:30 flight to BWI tomorrow morning. Should be in town sometime in the afternoon.
Jeff

British West Indies???

Dean,
That could be a long commute to Easton!

Ha Ha! Baltimore Washington International, a well kept secret, Southwest Airline hub, home of the $85 one way to Winter Vegas. It is about three traffic lights from my house.

No disrespect intended, but after reading the saga of cherished possessions being delivered by coveting third parties being rerouted as "Try Items" for the masses, I'd leave my "lovely bride" at a safe distance as well. :shock:

So, who's "loaning" John D a gun THIS year??? :whistle:

someday guys... someday I'll make it to one of these events....

Richard,

I hate to leave Central Kentucky for anything durring Dove Season. This would have been the perfect year for me to go to Easton as I have only had five dove hunts and they were all in the first week of September. I sure miss seeing everyone and meeting all the new Parkerfiles.

Harry

We're gonna miss you too Harry....:)

Wonder if the NRA museum would mind me trying one of those "Invincibles"???

Just a thought??

;)

John

Sure John, just tell them that I said it was "ok" for you to take all three for the weekend!

Harry

I understand Harry. It's the middle of duck season up here this time of year and it's too frozen to hunt them past the last weekend in Sept and most moose seasons closed three days ago. I'd still sacrifice them for one trip to Easton at some point...
