Won't be able to make it this year, a lot going on for us this summer.

  Definitely make it a point to stop in and see Scott's work. He does some amazing things with Elk antlers.

Boy, for the first time ever  I think I am going to miss it.  We've got an out of town wedding Friday night.

May have to make a bonsai run just for Sunday to keep the streak alive--if nothing else just to see what HornHunter is hocking     :D
