Elmwood Outdoor Show Pics

The Elmwood show was last weekend. It was a first time show held in a high school, so I didn't know what to expect.

The organizers did an outstanding job, far exceeding my expectations for the show. It was very busy and well run. I don't know how many kids shot at the archery booth but I know we went through well over 400 muzzy stickers.

The IDNR was gracious enough to let us borrow their archery backstop netting. (Thanks Tom Monroe!) We had to build the range from scratch tho' and Kendall did a great job of on-the-spot range building. (You should see how packed the truck was with lumber, foam, targets, banners, tables and all the boxes of catalogs and paperwork)

So anyhow, here are some pictures. I didn't take very many because we were so busy. It was fun.

Outside they had a fish pond with bass, trout and some big cats. I saw several kids walking around with dead trout... it was kind of funny.


A huge thanks to Ken, Dave, Joanne, Mike, Kendall and also to Jerry and Troy!
