Deb and I just finished up the 11 hour drive from Sanford and the joy of having returned the cup to it's rightful place made that drive much more enjoyable than in the last couple of years. Hat's of to the LC Smith team who once again proved worthy opponents. A 40' x 40' tent was set up directly behind the challenge course and was home to 16 tables of Parkers and LC Smiths. Our display contained an amazing collection of long barred guns with outstanding provenance. These guns were all generously displayed by our members and the display was incredible. The weather was as good as it could possibly be with daytime highs in the mid 70's and no humidity. Many thanks to Mark Conrad who created and managed this event for eight years and I am glad he was able to go out a winner. It was again great to see so many friends from all over the country and I can now officially start the countdown to next years event.
