MOJam 2010 pictures

[Shaun]

I arrived Wednesday and left Sunday morning. Its been several years since my first experience with MOJam and that was a Saturday quick stop. Now I go early and stay late. Keith, Brad and the rest of the Marshall Bowhunters gang do one heck of a job putting together this event - and its FREE!!!

Missed last year and hear they had temps in the 70's but this year was a more typical mid summer weekend in MO. Good thing the cement pond is only a few hundred yards away with free showers and $1 swimming privileges for campers.

Saturday I dug out my camera and started down the hill shooting pics. So, this is a one pass picture record of what a Saturday afternoon looks like at MOJam.

Lots of pictures and I will add a few names (not my strongest suit) as I can.

Starting down the hill. That's Wayne on the left

My camp
 

Possum Lodge camp. The lodge stayed home but the usual suspects (Tim at right and Randy green shirt) were my neighbors.

 

Lot of work got done in the Possum camp. Wayne (first pic and at right here) even had a fan and lights plugged in so they could work in the heat and after dark.

More camps going down the hill

Across the street my neighbors were Treekiller (Keith from Washington state) with his wife and hound Alex. Keith is a kindred spirit (read grumpy ol' curmudgeon like me) who likes to trade west coast wood and rocks for osage. Thanks for the morning coffee and good visits Keith.

 

Most of the "vendors" are as casual as this set up. Goose leaning on the truck.

There are some slightly more serious vendors. Fellow Iowegian...

 

Mike and Mrs Horton (Linda?) from the Nocking Point (TG Sponsors) are real nice folks

 

There was some swell osage at the Whitetail booth. And as you can see, some high pressure salesman tactics - hot summer MO style...

John S, Timo, Dano, Shane...

 

Got wood? Tom & Mrs from IL

Thanks for the pictures Shane, you had the best "tent" in the place.

Getting to the bottom of the hill camps - that's Brock in the center

 

Lloyd's pop up is gone and new teardrop is in his usual spot. Lloyd at left, Mrs was in the camper doorway most of the weekend, finally figured out why - there's an air conditioner in that thing!

Lots of bow making all weekend

 
Gary Davis sent some blanks for the scouts but did not attend. Dave from OK worked 18 hours a day helping others make bows. Kudos Dave!

 

Lots of kids, lots of shooting

Saturday evening is the pot luck and auction. Grab your chair and head for the pavilion area. Three generations of Treekiller clan. Does anyone else see a family resemblance in the expression from granddad to granddaughter?

 

Auction and clout shoot prizes donated by attendees. The money raised helps the club cover costs and also goes to support archery for kids.

 

Put the camera back and got my chair for the dinner and auction. One of the coolest things is the kids shoot Saturday afternoon. At the dinner they honor the kids and EVERY ONE of them gets a big trophy. Good work Marshall Bowhunters!

I had a wonderful time, visiting, trading, making shavings and hanging out. Maybe next year it will be medium hot instead of real hot. I'll be there to see.

Those are great pictures Shaun. Thanks for taking so many and sharing them.    
It was good to meet you and see so many folks, both new and "old", at Mojam this year. Yeah, it was a LOT hotter than last year, (especially when I was cooking   :eek:  ) but a great time anyway...
