I'll be going again next year for sure. The course is challenging, the attendees are downright friendly even to people they are meeting for the first time, the onsite food vendor has a good breakfast and lunch menu, social gatherings in the parking field welcome everyone, and the trip to the Vestal and Binghamton areas for dining and lodging is only 25-30 minutes away.
I will agree that there could have been more vendors, but greater attendance is key to that happening.
While the Southern is in a great location for those living along the Mid-Atlantic coast, Hausmann's is much more accessible for those of us living in the New York-New England areas. I hope that venue will flourish as time goes by.

As a first time attendee I would like to agree with you and give a shoutout to a Mr. Don Hanby. After arriving on Wednesday and proceeding to the office for registration he introduced himself to my wife and I and inquired if he could shoot a round with us and show us the course. Well since my wife wasn't shooting it worked out perfectly. Such nice hospitality led to a round on the course that day and another on Thursday. It was a good time shooting guns we loved.
It was a long drive for us and we didn't know what to expect once there but everyone was friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. I hope to return again if things work out on our end.
