Every two years it just breaks my heart that I can't make this work.  I'm a head track coach and we always have a meet that weekend and it's usually the first big meet of the season (wouldn't look too good for the hard-butt coach to miss a meet now would it?).  

This year, I found a different meet that first week that was on a Thursday so we got our schedule changed.  But this year's PBS is opposite our second weekend of the track season and another Sat. meet.  Darn.

I just keep thinking...9 1/2 more years, 9 1/2 more years....until early retirement.   :)

Man, Bryce, call in sick or something!  

Steve, yes, the BBQ is on Thursday and from the numbers I'm seeing, it is going over way better than I had hoped.  There will also be entertainment: Roger Rutz, Mark Baker and Allen Tennis, not to mention some possible "audience participation"...

I always thought we should have "open bar" before the auctions...  maybe not.

Kevin, I think an "open something" caused Don Thomas to acquire yet another Robertson recurve in the auction. I can't remember what he paid. I don't think he can either.

I think Kevin already knows about the open bar before the auction....and it was a win-win for everyone   :)

Good for you Orion!  You are going to have a blast!

I just have to meet Dirty Bill, he sounds like a real hoot.

I'll be there. I made my reservations last year the same day I found out what the dates would be.

Nate, sorry to hear that you won't be able to make it.

Steve H., well we could always go out for lunch at some meat only place.

See you all at the BBQ!

Hey Kevin, on that audience participation thing, did you know that Stevo was the lead singer for ANTHRAX! I kid you not, all the chinese recognised him and wanted a photo with him!

Regarding a Tradgang lunch, how about meeting at Primanti Brothers in the Strip District at 12:30 pm on Saturday?  There is a gap in scheduled events from noon to 1:30 (except for the youth lunch) and this place is only 15 minutes from the Radisson Hotel.  This way Mr. Vargo can experience Pittsburgh's best sandwiches (fries on the sandwhich, not on the side) and check out downtown Pittsburgh...

 http://www.primantibros.com/

Also, the next PBS magazine will have an article with info about several local pheasant shooting preserves, for those who want to bring their bows and test their wingshooting skills.  Several buddies and I are trying this on friday morning at Mt. Hope Game Preserve - the whole place will be reserved for bowhunters only that day.  You can PM me for more information.

What?  Steve has anthrax?  I knew something was wrong...

Jeff:  Friday?  You're going to miss a bunch of great seminars!  You oughtta do it on thursday and work up an appetite for the BBQ...

Speaking of the BBQ, I spoke with an older fella from God's Country (that's Wisconsin for all of you football challenged folks) and he did not buy a ticket for the BBQ, I guess he thought it was included in the Half Draw package that he did buy.  NOT SO!  If you want to come to the BBQ, make sure you get a ticket for that, it is going to be some great fun and great food!  I didn't know it was going to be as popular as it is turning out to be according to reservations made so far, but I'm really glad it is.

REMINDER:  There is going to be a PBS Turkey Calling contest this year at the banquet.  It will be on Saturday afternoon, immmediately following Joey Buchanan's Bowhunting for Turkeys, A-Z seminar.  

You don't have to be an expert to get in the contest.  We NEED contestants!  Sign up and try your skill, or in my case: luck.
