First off I would like to thank our gracious hosts .
Karin and Don . aka Boo
The weather was perfect and so was the people we got to share it with .
Arrived early to stake out a camping spot . Others had arrived there earlier .

Jim and his wife decided to rough it this year .

After I set up I noticed Don was doing scoop patrol .

Only one of many four legged friends .

The shooting starts as well as a lot of talking .


The elusive photographer caught for a brief instance in front of a camera .

Individuals enjoying meaningful conversation .

Found Big John enjoying some meat .

All Dons hard work of erecting a shower being put to use .

A very happy person . Congratulations !!

Then the sad part . Having to take down our tents and say goodbyes . Till we meet again .

We sure had a good time. Thank you, Team Dryfire, for teaching me something about 3D. How to talk trash and 'looze arra's'. I actually won something for throwing my score card away. Can't beat that!!

[Big John]

Wow!!!!
Thank you all for the Birthday surprize!!!
And the cake Cookie made was Excellent!!!
I was not expecting anything like that. the weekend was a blast and the weather perfect. I was very happy the amount of money raised for Kayla and the gifts and prize's available. She is a very deserving young Lady!!!!
Don and Karen went beyond nice as always for all who attended, Thank You!!!
And cookie made way to many treats for one man to eat, it's not right!!! But I tried!!!
The auction / draw for prizes went perfectly and was run smoothly and properly with everyone drawing tickets from bags in front of all. If you really wanted to win something you just needed to buy more tickets to increase odds. Thus making more for Kayla!!
Thanks to all who participated and won, and was great seeing everyone again!!!

Big John and Tracey
