I posted this in Pappy's "Life is Good" thread but thought it would be good to cross post it here to get the info and thanks out to all who are coming.

I sure am grateful for all the guys who lend a hand with the Selfbow Challenge each year. Trust me when I say it's grown each year. We average about 5-8 more each year over the past 5 years, and last year we had 79 register so that may mean we'll bump 90 this year. You folks who pitch in are so very important to this success.

I plan this year to pass out to each person registered for the Challenge a ticket that puts them in a drawing for a prize if they come to me after they complete their bow with the info on the bow they finished. Weight/draw length/ total length/ and wood type will be recorded by me. Pappy said to me once a while back it sure would be good to have this kind of info, so I'm going to try this this year. Not sure about the prizes yet, most likely it will be something made by a member or something donated for this. I'll come up with something nice. If someone has an idea let me know what would work for prizes. The important thing is to gather the info for the bows built. One ticket per person registered, when they see me when they finish their bow they get a ticket. I'll give out as many prizes as I can rustle up. I'll have posted the time for the drawing in the Bow Shop area the location will be the Bow Shop.

Once again let me thank all the people who pitch in and help us make this part of the Classic so successful.

Got ya covered Bryan. I'll be there Tuesday so I'll mark a spot for you. Anywhere in particular?
Jon, I spend lots of time under the bow shed and love every minute of it. Looking forward to hitting 90 bows built and 90 satisfied, smiling faces.
It won't be long now!

Great idea Jon,and yes many thanks to those that jump in and help,it use to be simple to keep up with waht was built but as it has grown that has got harder so I think this will help a lot. Right Pat,won't be long now.

Cipriano; I'm not out of the game , yet. I just have to wait and see when I fly out.

Yes sir Pat. It will be great to share a campfire with you. Eddie that's great news. She pan on leaving here Wednesday early morning.

That would put us in Memphis about two PM. I'm thinking about taking Diego to see Grace Land since we will practically be there. Is it worth the entry fee to see? If we go to Graceland, that would put us at Twin Oaks about 9PM.
