Hopkins is a very professional operation for sporting clays. George has been in the business since the beginning of the sport. However, the vendor response was very poor the first year the Vintagers was held there. The Vintagers was a great vendor venue when it was held in Millbrook, and even at Pintail Point. It was a real "Game Fair" British style. It could be the same atmosphere in Maryland at Hopkins. But how does anyone do that? Beats me. I think the vendors are tired, and running out of big spenders. I hope more of the original vendors come back this year.
