clinton Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks for sharing the photos Travis, it looks like everyone had a good time. I have seen Brian Brazeal demonstrate many times and I am always impressed with what he can do with a hammer and anvil Quote
LDW Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks for the pictures Travis.That looked like a great sight to hold an event. Its hard to get Brian to pose for anything, you did good. Quote
LDW Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Sounds like that could be a good place for the Iforgeiron conference as well. Thanks Gerald, looks like ta'll had a great time. Quote
Travis Covington Posted May 9, 2011 Author Posted May 9, 2011 Thank you Gerald. I was going to get to The Learning Station in my next post. Gerald spent the weekend teaching. Mostly Boy Scouts. He has no idea how much this meant to those young men. Everyone of them personally thanked us for having them. Lyle, You have an idea there. IFI is welcome to come out. Or another weekend during the year. The fair grounds are a great place expecially yesterday when it was raining & we didn't have to worry because everything was under a roof. The photo of the three is Brian, Dave Hutchison from ABANA & Me. I had forgot to mention ABANA was well represented & a lot of questions & misconceptions were straitened out. Thanks to Lance Davis for listening all weekend. Gerald , Lance and Dave represented ABANA well. The phote with Brian & the fork & spoon is for the Fair Committy to display with the items for all to see. I also forgot to mention thanks to Hunter Perkinson for the great sign & the Pineapple for the auction also all of your work. Quote
Marksnagel Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Travis, Thanks for posting the pictures. It looks like y'all had a great time. Sorry I missed it. One of these days I'll get up there. Mark<>< Quote
Travis Covington Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 We have already reserved the Fairgrounds for May 4,5 & 6 2012 . What would bring you to Virginia for this conference? What would you like to see? Glen if you would like to have a IFI area there is a lot of room. I'm sure we can work it out. Quote
