The Businesses that help our 2012 Show through donations for Raffle Prizes:
What a Show!!The Gym was packed with some of the best vendors that circulate the country. Several of our own Club Members had booths also. There was a great assortment of talent and creativity, innovation and knowledge; this was readily apparent in the donations for Raffle and Door Prizes, and Silent Auction items, which were both generous and appealing. We would like to thank each and every vendor for their participation!
We had a romping stomping crew that carried and setup 100 tables, swept and mopped floors, stapled and taped skirting and cord guards, set up Display Cases-and then filled them, and set up the Club Booths. Many of these same people were here the entire weekend: manning the Club Booths, attending to their own booths, roaming the floor as part of the helpful Security Force, and taking pictures. And after two long days, they did the whole setup thing in reverse, complete with the sweeping and mopping. You guys were AWESOME and the Show would not have been the success it was without you.
(Mollie-your and Jim’s presence was missed with fond thoughts of last year. You continue to be in our hearts, our thoughts, and our prayers.)
Thank you to Dorothy & Fred, Wayne & Ginny, Kenny & Clarkie, Pete, the Szabo Family: Stefan, Cathy, Trent, & Zack. Gary & Lois, Andy & Kadek, John & Lararine, Mike & Barb, Tom & Sue, Bryan, Tom & Connie, Danny, Sam, Roger, and Ken Newman from Deming, NM.
Our Display cases got a lot of attention! If you did not see them>you lose. They were fantastic reflections of the depth of creativity and knowledge of Club Members. Special thanks to the ones that put their love and collections on display: Ed Huskinson, who graciously offered to fill two of the cases at the last minute, Pete, Kenny, Trent, Fred & Dorothy.
