    We stayed pretty dang busy. Only a couple of times did the show really die down for us, usually about an hour before closing or whenever the seminars started. When I did break away, I went and pestered the Rut Junkies in the booth across from us. Overall, the show seemed less busy than usual. Saturday midday was ridiculously crowded as usual.

    Otherwise there was always something to do. (though we never did straighten our banners) ;)

    I lost count of how many balloons I had to blow up. (I did quickly learn not to look across at Dan or John while blowing one up)

    Johnny was the culprit there! :d



    It was great getting to know you Christine. Someday I'm coming down to shoot some fish! :cool:

    I'm skilled in the arts of many weapons....

    Deb started the rubberband thing anyway, you just didn't notice because she couldn't hit the broadside of booth.
    Good thing she can shoot a bow. ;)

    Mitch, we were all there because we heard you were going to be there.

    Here you can see how excited JZ is when he sees the bowfishing booth.

    I think it was Deb (Lady Forge) that said he looked like a cross between Greg Miller and Jim Varney. :d

    Is that correct Christine? :confused:
