We're heading into day two of the Fest. Lots of interest in our fine shotguns, and lots of good camaraderie among our member attendees. Here are the members who have been able to attend so far. I asked those that were able to bring guns to pose with their favorite. (Ask them about their choice. You'll get some wonderful answers.). What a great group of friends.

10. Dick, Tom and Pete needed to hydrate at day's end (but I'm not sure that was water, it was pretty "wiffy." Ask them what they were drinking.)
11. Dinner last night was a real treat. (That's Dean Weber on the left.)
12. My mentor in all things Pheasant Fest -- Bruce Day (ask him how many he's attended -- some great stories)
