Chuck and Dwane, The swap is done.....

[Duane G]

Chuck and Dwane, Met with Kevin yesterday afternoon and the decoys have been passed on.

Nice to meet him and got to see and handle even more decoys yesterday. Held some Strunk teal and mallards. Talked oil painting with a couple guys.

So thanks for letting me make the exchange, as it was a another learning experience I wouldn't have had otherwise. Now, back to the shop for more fun!!

 

[Dwane O.]

Good. George, Kevin, and Sean don't get a lot of credit for their work, but they're also really good guys. hehe Glad you got to meet and spend a little time with them though, you can bet anything that was said was good info.

Thanks for making the exchange. I'll give you a call in a couple days.

 

[Chuck J]

Excellent Duane, thanks a lot! Great to see you at the show, looking forward to next year. I hope you had enough time alone with that swan.

Best
Chuck

Thanks for keeping the hot potatoe (swan) moving. I glad that you were able to meet some new guys in the process.

Enjoy the show.

Big White is settled in, in Pa for the nite.....rolls back out Sat morning......its big but doesnt eat much

 

[mike braden]

Kevin,

I guess that you will be pretty easy to find in Parkertown walking around with Big White? I'll be there bright and early.

 

[Kevin Wharton]

I was right by the side door last couple of years

 

[mike braden]

Side door in the back or by the hallway/kitchen? In any event, I'll see you Saturday. Thanks for helping with this.

 

[Chuck J]

Mike,

How big a venue is it? I can spot my swans in the rig a mile away easily...

[Dave Diefenderfer]

Mike, how big a show is this? What is for sale? Worth the drive from NOVA?

 

[mike braden]

Parkertown is not HUGE....but it's always packed and you have some of the best carvers on the region there. There great thing about it, is the Sham Wow guy will never be allowed there, it's for carvers and artist. There is always a decent group of people tailgating on the parking lot selling stuff. Since it has been warm, maybe the tailgating will be better than usual.

Dave - I am not sure it is worth a 4.5 hour drive but if you were looking to get back at Tuckerton for a few hours it might be worth the trip, but that's me and I not sure that you will feel the same way. The tailgating has all kids of stuff from Higbee pond boxes(maybe haha) to boats and gear. Inside in decoys decoys decoys.
