:? A little more information would be appreciated by all. Did any one take pics?

 

[Terry T]

It was a bit of a hike through the snow to the show! :shock:

Boise was cold and snowy, not to mention icy all weekend.

But... here are some SP-101s

And some GP-100s

And... a safe mate for the Boise Blaster!

I'm sure some others will have more and better photos of the other displays (fabulous!) and the dinner.

More pics of show Sunday morning (early). A great banquet was held Saturday evening at Lindy's - Prime rib! and Drawing for some great prizes, thanks Hank. Sorry I don't have all the names, awards or pics of rugerboi's and Dennis' old Army displays. Sorry Greg and Dennis, I thought I had some. Also many sales tables with some really good stuff including Don & Linda Garlitz sales table. I'm sure there will be more photos coming soon from those with cameras. Everyone had a great time and I think there were at least a dozen displays. Hope to see everyone at the next one!

Great pictures. I hated to miss this one, but it was good that I did not come down......ended up with a fever and the flu Sunday morning. Would have made an interesting drive home.

I tell Ya! Just when you think if the temperature won't keep them away the snow will!!! In from Californian comes Dennis and Terry and set up the best double action displays that can be done. The fine, eye catching displays and informational treatment, makes everyone that sees them go "Wow"...Then in off the frosty hiway comes Steve and proceeds to set up the most impressive round-up of lightweights, topped off with a well placed and rare (one of 3) lightweight 357's. Then, down from the snow fields of Sun Valley comes the "Master of Ceremonies" himself, Hank Green and his helpmate Susan, and they proceed to set up a Vaquero display to (again) knock the socks off the observer....What, more you say?? Long guns? OldRugerman (Randy Graham) put up a 2 digit, a 3 digit, and a 4 digit flatbolt with explanations to boot, and then just to show-off, put 3 rare 77/22's up to complete a display in a mountain painted background that looked great before he put six rare Rugers in it!! What? More? Matt Jones, usually known for his nice long guns, put out a display of Ruger's P series and even had some blown up so you could see all the fancy inards!! More?? How about a Pretty girl named Kim with all the 44 Magnum guns Ruger stuffed the cartridge in? They were laid out in a setting of Elk sheds that she collected behind her place!! More? Go around the isle and Dennis Collingwood, Don Garlitz, Shawn Lee, Steve Adamson, Randy Graham, myself and Hank all had Rugers and parts for sale. You could have started a fine collection right there!! I tell ya, if you are not braving the January weather for this one, you are missing a good one!! Then we go eat ourselves into a beef stupor and give cool stuff away....RB
