Well the Annual meeting along with the C grade gun display and silent auction is just couple of days away. I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who donated to this years auction/fundraiser. We had many great companies like Orvis, Kittery Trading Post, Galazan, RST, New Era, Blue Book Publications, Hunter Collections, and Down East Publications all making donations. We also received many great items from our members but I won't try to name them all here as I do not yet have a complete list. We will publish that list in the next issue of Parker Pages but for now they know who they are and the PGCA gives them all our thanks.
Some of the items include gun related products like Silvers and Hawkins recoil pads, Hickory cleaning rods, various reloading tools, UMC brass shells and unused paper hulls. There will be a Parker Brothers clock and eye glass case along with a limited edition Parker knife set. There will also be great low pressure ammo in every gage from our friends at RST and New Era. We will once again have a beautifully crafted PGCA granite hot plate from Dave Suponski that was such a big hit last year. There will be gift certificates from sporting stores, too many gun and hunting related books to mention.
That is some of what you can expect but word has it that a very generous member made mention of donating a Parker hammer gun but we will have to wait and see if it shows up. Again thanks to all who contributed and hopefully there will be something for everyone at this years event.
