Parking lot was full at 11 AM and the shuttle bus was working already. Sorry I missed you. I was with my wife and another couple. Talked for a while with Lou Rotelli and ran into a few shooting friends. The weather was perfect, the free alcohol was real nice and the cooking demonstration by the Culinary institute was informative on how to cook wild birds. They also put on a show on how to make cocktails and match it to your wild game dinners. More free alcohol. The booths were pretty much all high end. $160 for a leather belt does not work for me. Years ago there were lots of booths with guns. Hopefully, this is a harbinger of a return to that. Wonderful event worth going to if you are in the area. It is going on today also.

[QUOTE=edgarspencer;416960] I was completely smitten by one particular gun in August's rack, to the extent that I texted my banker, who stayed home to bake apple pies, for a credit check. Oddly, my text messages went unanswered. Must have been poor cellphone coverage.
Credit check??? Certainly, you've learned by now that all Parkers are $500, Winny lever guns are $550 and A.H. Fox Guns (bespoke of course) are $750. There are few venues as atmospheric as Sandanona in early autumn. Please enlighten this ex-marketing lad why the hell the Vintagers can't somehow, someway, collab with the Game Fair folks to reinvigorate their Vintage Gunner's Cup and combine it into one, grand, exhilarating event? No doubt, both parties would have to agree to certain concessions, but how could the combination prove to be anything but synergistic??

I would love to go back to Millbrook for the Vintagers. So would a whole bunch of other people.

I seriously considered making the trip but some other prior half-commitments were already in play. I love the place and the event and will return someday for something.

Orvis Game Fair
Orvis Game Fair was well organized with class gun vendors along with a variety of activities hopefully will entice new new leadership in the Vintagers to consider..regarding dates & locations for the future and there survival.
