Neither Kathy G. nor I entered in the shooting, but we had a most memorable time, surrounded as we were by fine country, fine guns and fine people.

We plan to attend more PGCA meetings and related events.

The buffet-style banquet was done really well, and included three great salads; whipped potatoes; roasted green beans; chicken, fish and meat dishes – eat up and just go back and pick up another plate for more!

Even the decaf had the quality-coffee flavor that decaf hardly ever has.

There was the lofty and expansive dining room with windows that commanded the valley and surrounding hills, providing all the natural light one needed to admire and scrutinize in detail the guns arrayed for the People’s Choice Awards -- official theme guns (Single-barreled Trap); outstanding eclectic choices, i.e., 28-gauge skeet; high-grade and condition hammer-guns, and the GHE 12-gauge Raffle Gun.

The auction generated the second-highest dollar amount ever to the Association.

Again, many thanks to Mike Franzen and Brian Hornacek for putting it all together, and to all others – the men and the ladies -- who perennially do the heavy lifting for these official PGCA events.

Mills was not the only one that had camera troubles, as Kathy G.’s 12-year-old camera finally took a dive. Thus, only a few photos of ours came out, and even those were grainy. But still recognizable in the one I post below are banqueteers Mills and Harry Morrison.
