I am going to try to be there with a few kits and stuff to sell. Just trying to decide about my motor home or staying in a motel. Last time I couldnt stay on the grounds overnight and parked at the fish place parking lot

I'll be in Atlanta on business thru noon Sat, and plan to high tail it to Huntersville from there, meaning I may get there in time for some late practice Saturday, and fly with you guys Sunday.

Aaron, and I, *should* be there.  Either during the day Friday, or late Friday afternoon/evening.  Really hoping nothing bizarre happens again..........

Jim,

Yes you have to bring the trophy back. But , if you are flying Advanced , maybe you can keep if for another year.

Same as last year you will have some good Advanced Level  competition to make you earn it ...

The Avanti trim is improving, but It might not be quite ready for Huntersville.  Right now it has 1.75 oz tipweight, and I'm going to test it on 63' lines down from the 64 I'm currently running.

William,

 Shelly and I will be there as you already know.  I'm hoping my good friend Bud Wieder and his family from NJ are going to make it down.  I was talking to Bob Z tonight and he is going to try to make it.  Shelly's son Kyle and his fiance` Kathleen along with her family may attend as well.  It's always a great contest and I know I'm looking forward to it.

I'll be driving down Saturday morning from Wendell near Raleigh.  I think it's about 3 hours so I should be there about 10 or so.

Hi Bill,

I'm not quite there yet.  Our move date is 11/9.  I'll be down there next week meeting with our builder and checking out the house.  Always fun to see what they screwed up this time.
