That Luke sure is talented.

Just talked with Mark the other day. He's making a redhead for my son's b-day this year.
 
Eric. Thanks for coming out on a pretty lousy day and helping out by judging.
Jason. Thanks for posting the winners. I was driving all day yesterday (12 hour trip) and didn't get online.
Congrats to all the winners. And thanks to everyone who brought or sent birds to us. It was a great time and the show's getting that 'comfortable pair of old shoes' feel to it.
I'll get my pics online soon and publish them. I know one of the guys who was wading with us in the River was bold enough to bring his camera out and take some closeups of the floaters as we put them out (I'm glad I didn't do it because a couple of waves broke up my armpits and sort of flooded down into my waders), and I asked him to get us copies of the pics he took as well. If I'm not mistaken, somebody was on shore snapping pics as well.
