Default Annual Meeting and Banquet

Here are a few pictures from our annual meeting and banquet. The venue was a neat outdoor tent. Great attendance, and the People's Choice guns were worth the price of admission.

If you've never gone to one of our annual meetings, you should put that on your bucket list.

The banquet this year was beautiful held at a new startup facility and the PGCA was their very first event. Its nice to see the PGCA supporting small businesses!

Thanks to our generous membership for supporting the Foundation with not one, but TWO book sales generating $1900 for the Parker Gun Foundation!

Special thanks to Tom Wooden, Brian Hornacek, Randy Roberts, and all of the PGCA volunteers who made the night so special.

Retire if you can. Life is short—trust me.
