Despite mother nature's most vile attempts to put a damper on our show, the airgun community proved to be a very hardy bunch, and attended in record numbers, making the show a resounding success. There were lots of airguns and accessories of every description either on display, or for sale, and the covered shooting area was a bit cosy at times, but everyone had a great time shooting reactive targets of every sort.
Prior to the 50/50 draw, and the doorprize draws, a token of recognition and appreciation was presented to Noel Sedman - the gentleman that hosted the Elmira Airgun Show from 1997 through 2008 - a total of 21 shows. A commendable feat indeed, and a tradition that we hope to carry on.
I wish to thank everyone that assisted in making this show the success that it was:
- The Waterdown Rod & Gun Club for the use of the facility, and those members of the club that kindly opened the place up, and assisted with setting up all the tables.
- Mrs leonardj for all her help during the show.
- The Port Colborne Field Target Club for setting up the shooting range, and providing Range Officer services to ensure a safe and enjoyable day for all those participating, and also for providing chronograph services for those wishing to check their guns out.
- Those businesses and individuals that so generously donated doorprizes to the show.
- All those that set up a table to display their collections, or to offer their merchandise for sale.
- Everyone that braved the elements to attend the show, and become part of a very enjoyable day of airgun related activities.
As luck would have it, my digicam up and died before I got a single pic, so it would be most appreciated if anyone that did get some pics would post them to this thread. Thanks.
Hope everyone has a great summer, and we look forward to seeing you all again at the fall show.
