My state club the "Traditional Bowhunters of Washington" was well represented at the banquet by Dale, Lon, Tom, Jerry, Kevin Morgan, and I'm sure some I missed who also took a turn at the booth...

I have to appoligize for not jumping in. However Jim Akenson  the BPS vice pres. and member in charge of the banbuet along with Steve Hohenesee kept me pretty busy with running errands, tagging and pulling winning ticket Numbers of the huge amount of donations  that went in the "General Raffle"..

One other thing I need to apologize for is this terrible picture,     :rolleyes:     but it's the only one of our table I found in my camera tonight.

BTW, this picture was re-sized like the others before posting   :confused:  I'm not sure why its still so big

Cincinnati, should be March 27-30, 2014 (last full weekend in March).

Start making plans now cause we have already started planning!

Caught between 2 worlds...looking forward to 2014-Cincinnati and backward at 2012-Portland. My PBS enjoyment gauge is pegged. Steve, I'd like to publicly call you out for doing a great job on council at this banquet...for all your devotion to PBS. Thanks!

Looking forward to the 2014 banquet.  It was sad that I could not make this years banquet.  It seems like everyone had a tremendous time.  I'll be working on things now to donate for the upcoming banquet.  Thanks for taking us along with the pics.

I know how you feel Kevin. I still can't believe all that was happening. How council pulled all those details together is just incredible. Thanks to all that had a hand in putting this awesome event on.

My family and I are making a vacation out of the Gathering and taking in the state of California from top to bottom this week.  We spent Tuesday among the giant Redwoods and I felt like I never left Portland...what a great group of bowhunters and gentlemen; all those present AND there in spirit!

I had a great time at the PBS. Next time- Ohio! Mike

It was great to see all of my PBS brothers and sisters in Portland, but there were plenty that were not on hand that were missed-

Me and my family didn't roll back into our driveway until 2:30 AM on Thursday morning-We made a family vacation of it-

The banquet was great as usual and I agree with Kevin-Steve H and the rest of the council deserve a public THANK YOU for all of us-

This was my first PBS  banquet and the good Lord willing, it certainly won't be the last. Thanks to the council and the volunteers who made it happen. It was great to meet some truly wonderful folks. This is an organization I can get behind. This is bowhunting and brotherhood.

It was great meeting you as well Bobby---
