What are you looking forward to seeing at PBS? There will be multiple "firsts" to get excited about. There will be at least two new books hot off the press. Cliff Huntington's book on the Thompson Brothers. Bryce Lambley's book "My Neck of the Woods". We will unveil the condensed 50 minute version of "Primal Dreams" made specially for classroom, church group, library and hunter-education use. We will also unveil the finest bowhunters flashlight ever made.
 I want to hear Joey Buchanan try to call in a turkey in downtown Pittsburgh. I want to see John Rook judge the Photo Contest. But most of all, a chance to see old friends again, meet new ones and drool over dozens of the finest handcrafted hunting bows and accessories ever displayed for sale or bid. Its going to FUN!

Yes it is going to be FUN!  I'm looking forward to the "firsts" of some new members and meeting more new friends.  The first BBQ night should be good also.  I hope to get some books and video.  If I could convince you to hold one of Mr. Lambley's books for me I would really appreciate it - but if they must be first come first served I'll see you Thursday evening.

I'm looking forward to seeing all those who I haven't seen since the last time I saw them at a banquet. I'm looking forward to buying Kevin his choice of beverage for all his hard work. AND I am looking forward to co-seminaring with Monty Browning!

We get fed for 3 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing folks I have only met thru e-mail and phone conversations, get to finally put a face to them and shake their hand. And I am looking forward to the auction. Seeing guys like Forester that i hav'nt seen in a while.

I wanna see who Hogdancer asks to dance.....

I'm telling Barry you said that !

I'm just looking forward to the entire event.  This will be my first time in attendance.

Good for you Todd,if you see me come up and say hi.

I'm like Todd - a newbie at this event, so the whole weekend will be a first for me too.  They say firsts are always memorable!  Can't wait to find out if that old saying comes true...

I'm most looking forward to seeing Jack Smith. He's PBS's Sect./Treas. and editor of the magazine for the last hundred years. He's the heart of PBS and one of my all time favorite people. I'm sure he'll be somewhat embarrassed with the attention. A lot of people don't know we almost lost him just two monthes ago from head trauma when he fell from a ladder while moving a treestand. It shows us it can happen to anybody. Jack quietly sits in the background and gives and gives to PBS and bowhunters in general. Most folks have no idea. I'm looking forward to giving him a big, ol' bear hug. bw

I'm busy reading Bryce Lambley's book for a review in the PBS magazine.  Thumbs up so far so grab a copy at Gene's booth.  You won't be disappointed.  I still don't know about this putting french fries on top of your hamburger stuff.  Just doesn't seem right.  Must be something started by Steeler fans.

I'm going to miss all my bowhunting family this gathering, its just not in the cards for Marilyn and I this year. We will be thinking about all of you. Travel safe and have fun.

Easy on the bear hug for Jack UNcle Barry, he's still in the back brace for another month. Talked to him today, he's in good spirits with the banquet coming up.

Looking forward to seeing everyone, the auctions and drawings, and of course all the seminars.  By the time the weekend is over I will hardly be able to talk.  Also looking forward to the Thursday evening BBQ.

I have to agree on Jack Smith.  The heartbeat of the organization that few appreciate.  For those that are going, introduce yourself to Jack if you don't know him, and tell him thanks.  And say "Hi" to Brenda also.

I'm packing and getting ready to leave....see you there!

Looking forward to my first PBS event. I'll be there with Roman Hershberger of Hill Country Bows.

Looking forward to my first pbs and meeting everyone I've talked to on here. Looking forward to checking out all those great donations that will be up for grabs.

Looking forward to the festivities and hoping that Biggie got the word that trousers are mandatory at this event.  

I've always enjoyed a good "Unveiling". Hope to enjoy this one.

Looks like the old wallet is going to take a good pounding again. From what I've seen so far this is looking to be another banner year of the finest donations we could ever hope to lay eyes on.
A word of caution to waiters at the ladies luncheon if you don't want to lose your seat on the school board stay away from my wife. She is coming to have a gooooooood time!!!!!!
