MoJam?
Emennis:
last couple

Some of the images that MoJam folk posted on fb . . . . . . . . . .
In the beginning, empty fields. But that didn't last long.
There were feasts enjoyed throughout the week. Jon's fish fry (with lotsa help from many others) was staged early in week and seemingly enjoyed by one and all.
There are many traditions at MoJam. One of them is specific to the heat. Fire Dept provides refreshing dousing for all who wanna walk behind as it sprays tons of water. Loyd has a habit of joining kids in this fav event.
There's many informal promoters of MoJam. None outdo this fella. Dave's characteristic full beard is slowly reappearing . . . smile is ALWAYS there.
Didn't get many pics of the bow-making. But suffice it to say that pavilion is tangle of tables, tools, cauls, bodies, and sticks on their way to more exciting use.
This year one young'un came to MoJam carrying one of those wheelie bows. Chris decided that would not do and went to work. Kid was soon shootin' a proper weapon.
It's not MoJam without some shooting competitions.
Running Pig. I'm told that Clint's arrow in 12-ring and Scott's arrow in 10-ring. WoooooHoooooo guys!
Kids have great time with Mr Walker.
Jug Shoot is new addition to MoJam.
Flight shoot was added this year. Aaron crafted some eye-catching trophies. Ed and Arvin walked off with those. THANKS, Steve, for getting this organized!!
As an aside . . . I wish more of the PA community had opportunity to meet Ed. He's the real deal and one of the funniest fellas I've met.
And, of course, there's always the Clout Shoot.
And then there's Saturday night's campwide feast and auction.
While I was not able to attend this year, the regular posting of these images throughout the week enabled me to enjoy vicariously!
To borrow phrase from Kyle, "By end of the week you're dirty, tired and ready to get home. But you already miss the MoJam Family before you even pull out of the park."
NEXT YEAR IS JUST 12 MONTHS AWAY!
PEARL DRUMS:
Thanks for the pics Mikey.

Well after a full week of Mojam it feels good to be home. Thanks to the Marshall Bowhunters for putting on another fine gathering. Without you this would not be the same. New friendships were made and old ones strengthened. Really missed my friend Mike though. Thinking of next year already.
Mickey:
I'm not around much anymore but wanted to thank Bob Barnes for emailing me about the 20th Mojam anniversary. I made the first 10 and then sorta drifted away to pursue another interest I've always had. Figured I'd better do some of it done before it became too late. Dianne and I had a great time seeing some friendly old faces and meeting some of the new energetic guys that will carry on the tradition. Thanks to Marshall Bowhunters/ Keith,Jerry and Robin especially. To Dave and No Nose and the others for keeping the spirit alive and teaching the youngsters the craft. Was so good to see Bob, and Gifford, and Sal, and Rob and Scifres and Darren, and Loyd and Butch, and Brad and Shane, and Darryl and Timo and Lenny and Mudd and Paul and Jerry and Phil and No Nose and so many more. Met some new guys Dave and Patrick that seem to make some pretty nice bows and are willing to help others. Very Cool.
Missed seeing a few of the old timers too..some who are no longer with us. RIP Dean, DCM, and RC
Anyhow it was great, and Dianne and I hope to do it again. Maybe for the 25th? lol
See you in the woods,
the Ferret
