We had a great time also and are still covered up in it, with the shipping and boxing. We can't wait for next year and already have plans   :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:  Skyler

That was just too much fun!

I'm usually early to bed, but my wife couldn't drag me away from the 'puter the last few nights.

Once again, what an incredible event!  Every year is better than the last.  What people can do on a public internet forum is beyond amazing - I'm in awe of the type of people I hang out with here.  Great job!  :clapper:    :clapper:  

Now, if the money raised can accomplish it's goal, and make life better for the kids!  :pray:  
What a miracle that can be!

Hey Guys you did a great job putting it on. Seems alot of people did a good job biding the way it shound be done.

Wayne carlton once told me that the fun of a benefit auction is to see how many times you can bid and not go home with it.

Seems like you all know how to play that game.

By the way I would like to thank all of you who help with this it means a lot to us who have family and friends there being treated. You all are a blessing sent form God. So thank you so much.

Way to go for all those managing this event, and to all of those that donated there time and of course money to this great charity. Unfortunately money has been very tight this year and I was not able to join in the fun...but I will start saving for next years as soon as we get things back on track. Once again I tip my hat to all those involved and can't say enough good things about this great bunch of guy's and gal's.

This was my first year for the Auction. and a prime example  why I am proud that I shoot a bow, it doesn't matter if you target shoot or hunt, I have never met a person that had a bow in his hand that i didn't feel a kinship with. Tradgang is Numero Uno in my book. Thank you guys for what you do.

I got my wife watching over my shoulder to see what was going on, she thought it was a hoot and of course so did I.  I had a great time bidding. Couldn't hang with the high rollers on most items, but it's just more $$$ for a the kids. The three bows I donated are going to a new home and I couldn't be happier that I was able to help add a little bit to the total. Thanks to all involved, for putting on such a great event!

I think the 4 day aucion was a great idea and worked out great for most people.

   The 3rd day of the auction we had some bad weather in my area.   Several tornados and about $20 millon damage on the local army post and an unknow amount for the civilian area around post.   No major injuries, thank GOD.

   I was not watching that night,  I got called into work to help with the disaster.

   All the power finally came back on following day.  The last night of the auction I was bidding on a youth bow.  At 9:56PM a tree fell over and took out the main power lines that fed the area I work in and the computer went down.     :banghead:     I had to go and direct for the next 5.5 hours.  

  Darned the luck.  

Anyways I want to give a BIG thanks to everyone involved.
