Folks, The Annual Meeting and Banquet will be coming up quickly. Remember the cut-off date for the $65.00 per ticket price is 7/15/11. So don't delay if you plan on attending as this promises to be a great event.

Are there program etc. planned for women or is this primarily a guys thing

Many wives will be attending - bring yours, she'll be made most welcome.

This will be my wife's second annual meeting. To say she had a wonderful time at her first one would be an understatement. Louisville is a great venue for the wives because there is plenty of fine dining, restaurants, shopping, museums and other places of interest. I would highly recommend coming to this event and I would bet your wife will have a great time as well.

Louis Parker will be the keynote speaker at this year's banquet. If you want to learn more about the history of the Parker Family and Charles Parker, you wont want to miss the banquet!

This years silent auction will include this Blue Pearl granite hot plate complete with ogee edge. I made one last year and it was a big hit. I will only be making one a year exclusive for the PGCA Silent Auction. Enjoy!

I would love to bring that beauty home!

Hey Middlebrook.... step aside! My turn to take one of these home. :draw:

Will tables be available to purchase for display? If so where to send $ and how much.

Tables will be available. Josh Loewensteiner should post the particulars here so that everyone will know.

There is also an announcement in the Summer Issue of Parker pages which should go to print by the end of the week. Table reservation forms will be included in this issue.

I wonder if Josh can post a printable reservation form here as well... ?

Guys-

I'll post the table reservation form shortly. Make sure you get your banquet tickets bought ASAP as well.

Gents-

The table reservation form is attached. A cleaner copy will be available in the upcoming issue of the Parker Pages. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at this event!

Be sure to send Dave your check for your banquet tickets soon before ticket prices increase.

Guys-

I am working on getting a printable version on the website today. Dont forget to send Dave your banquet ticket payments! The banquet is really going to be spectacular this year at the Frazier Arms Museum.

If you want a table, try this form, it may print better than the previous one posted.

OK, back to the "The Parker Gun" in granite. Dave, will a formica version be available for those who can't keep up with the bidding? I understand that the "Granite King" has formica in his own home.

That was great Bill....:biglaugh: Sorry granite only and it will be on display at Ernie's this weekend.
