Trev,

Being on the "other side of the fence" last night, it was a Smash Hit! Really glad to see how well it came together. Great job everyone.

I think you're all a bunch of weirdos...

...and that's just great, because I fit right in.

I loved it! I met a lot of nice people, and got some great stuff, too. Kudos to all those who worked so hard to make it a success.

(One thing, though; Trevor needs to smile more if he's gonna be Vanna White again next year.

)

Thanks to everyone who participated and donated their time before hand and during the event. It was great to see all the people I only see once or twice a year and to meet many new people as well. Now I have more faces to go with the names especially of the guys who spend a lot of time on the board. I managed to wrangle a few sweet Hoginators away from the Kid during the live auction but I wont be able to use them on the Taq river like I wanted too... darn Sandy just wanted it more... all great fun and I was glad to be a part of it once again. I brought two of the new recruits with and they each won some raffle items and got some other lures as well plus we signed another one up as a member. All in all a good time, cant wait till next year.

Wow! First MMA event that I have been to. It was good to meet some of you. Special thanks to "somethingfishy" for the reels. Robhj (KVD) you missed out. I got two Okuma Reels and a double cowbell. Pete almost got his Dallas cowboy cheerleader poster.

Two thumbs up and a big atta-boy to Trevor and everyone who had a hand in making this happen.

It's nice to be able to put some faces together with the names.

And best of all it's a big pleasure to Harrass Kid in person!

Thanks Trevor and all of the individuals already mentioned.

The boys and I had a great time as well. It was great meeting some of our new members, and some that have been here a while that I had not yet met.

Thanks to everyone Trevor mentioned and to all the manufacturers that help support MMA. A big thanks to Trevor for taking all the challenges I threw at him for this year and making this such a great event.
