Guy's and Gal's,
On behalf of The Professional Bowhunters Society, I would like to announce the following....
The PBS is holding it's Bi-annual banquet this year out on the "West Coast" in Portland OR March 22-25th [ around "Spring Brake" for those with families ].
It will be at the [ huge and beautiful] Red Lion Motel on the banks of the Columbia River.
Membership is not a strict requirement to attend, as guest are welcome.
But, if your interesed it's only $35.00 per year to become an Associate Member [ which I am ].
This membership also includes 4 quarterly, excellent quality, magazines which are put out by PBS. This great publication contains awesome stories and articles by it's members.
If your interested .. in either joining us, or checking out information on the Banquet as a guest? Please, check us out at probowsociety.net
BTW, if any Tradgang members or sponsors care to make a donation to the PBS banquet... as a raffle or auction item?
I am accepting them at my address where they will be logged in, recorded along with the contributor's name [ and acknowledgement given at the banquet], stored in a secure, climate controlled enviroment. I will be keeping records of all donations, which I then regurally relay to the Comittee.
Then, with the help of some other local PBS members, all items will be hand delivered to the banquet when the time arrives. :thumbsup:
If your interested in making a donation? Please send me a PM or Email me at frogonharley@aol.com and I'll be happy to supply my address.
Thanks' and I look forward to meeting and shaking hands with many of you there. :jumper:

Great event and great tiome with great people. Only wish we were in a position to make the trip this year
If you havent attended one of these before, than your missing out. It is a great event and a chance to make new friends. I hope to make it out this year but I may have to work.
Can't wait to see Portland for the 50th Anniversary of the PBS. Looking forward to meeting a bunch of my "out west" buddies out there. Going to make it a big family vacation :thumbsup:
Tracy and I were really looking forward to the trip to Portland. When the opportunity came up to expand our business to include Grizzly broadhead plans had to change. I'm sure we are going to miss a great event. Now I'm looking forward to reading about the event.

My reservations have been made, tickets bought, the shop (garage) cleaned, and a donation bow started. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting some new ones, A great organization with great members, if at all possible, I highly recommend you attend.
PBS gatherings are the funnest events I have attended. Unfortunately with my wife in school I am going to have to miss another one. The good news is she should be done in time for us to go to the 2014 banquet. Have fun everyone.
Looking forward to spending some time together. Gene I have some things about ready to ship. If you need any help transporting things let me know.
See ya there!

Well i think I'm going to try and make it. I'm new to trad and archery and this would be my first trad/archery event. Pretty excited to meet other trad folks, learn new things, and make new friends. Any helpful hints to make this a memorable trip let me know. Hopefully see you there!
Dusty
Auction donations are ready; Adam and I are chompin' at the bit!
It is going to be a great event! :campfire: :archer2:
Gene,
After we talked the other day you got me thinking. I am going to see what I can do to make the trip out. At the very least you will be receiving donations from me.
We will talk more when I see you after xmas.
Brock
Wifey and I will be there!
I`m on the fence but leaning, wife too, maybe.
Was hoping to go, but doesn't look like I'll be able to make it.
I will be there. The 50th Anniversary will have a historical focus. Mike
Karen and I have had our resevations made months ago.
I'll be there.
I hope to be able to attend my first gathering after so many years of membership!
We hope so too Felix!
With all the trad gangers coming Tricia and I will have to plan to attend. Gene, will the attendees have time to shoot? We could arrange something with Archery World or Chinook archers. I will have to see if I can put together a knife or hawk to donate.
I hate to miss this!!!! :banghead: They are too much fun!
Bill
Reservations and flights booked...looking forward to seeing everyone!
