Tenn Classic
jignfrog:
I wanted to let everyone involved that the Tenn Classic was great. You all done a great job. And enjoyed meeting everyone down there. The food was great and everyone made me feel right at home. My family had a great time. Especially my girl who brought home a disc from the bird shoot she is happy to have gotten something and wants it hung in her room. I can't wait tilll next year to come down.
Oh and I will be expecting some of you to come up to MOJAM in July. : - )

I agree it was my first event and I had a great time. Everyone made me feel like a friend from the word hello. The food was great. The entertainment was excellent. Thanks to all who gave of their time to make this a great event. A special thanks to Pappy for helping me start my first bow.

From the minute Dick Bernier and I pulled down the drive past Pappy's cabin I knew this is gonna become one of my favorite shoots. :o :D ;D. Pappy, Greg and all the Twin Oaks folks did a spectacular job. The facilities are perfect, the 3D courses were setup well, the weather was ...well, weather! and the warm friendly Southern hospitality made me feel at home...it was like I've known all these folks for a long while...and I had only just met most of them. And, my compliments to the chef(s). The evening meals were very good and just what we all needed after the days activities and to prepare the the evenings activities. The egg, ham and cheese casserole and a few cups of coffee got me going each morning. ;).
I was thrilled to see all the bows being built and the hands-on help given. Greg, especially was constantly working with one beginning bowyer or another...from morning to well after dark. This event is a CLASS ACT!!! The thought came to me that this event could rival that "other" bow building event in the July heat of Missouri 8). I can just see it now...The Twin Oaks Tennessee Classic(TOJAM)! ;D
It was wonderful to put faces and shake the hand of folks I've enjoyed here on PA and new folks I met this weekend. Marius traveled the farthest, coming from Germany, and returning there with a bundle of loot :). But Justin was a solid second! He hauled 1000# of beautiful obsidian to the classic from S.W. Utah and 2000# of large :o hack berry, black walnut logs(and other odds and ends) and a couple of Missourians ;) back west. Meeting Munroe, Marie(and Susannah) and the princess ;)(Sarah) was my pleasure. You guys are the best!!!
Wait till ya'll see some pics of all the great folks and beautiful self made bows. This is a fine example of PASSING IT ON! Pat
ps. If anyone found a dig camera(HP 400 series) in a small, black zippered case with 2 lithium batteries stuck under the belt loop of the case, please contact me. :'(

Thanks Pat! Probably will take a couple of days to recover, but it was a good type of tired. ;)
I really enjoyed meeting everyone that showed up from PA, that was the highlight of the event for me. I also enjoyed meeting Sarah, Monroe, Maries daughter Susannah, and getting to visit with Marie again. Thanks again for the corkscrew Marie! ;)
I don't know about calling the event TOJAM though...the mental image of that just doesn't quite work for me! ;D
