Phyllis, I was expecting you to be there because you always helped in the past events... so I was wondering where you were. You were missed, if that means anything.

Thanks George! Means a lot to know we were missed. Things are hectic with my daughter's cheer team headed to the national competition in a few weeks. Between that and and my shooting schedule I've been tied up more weekends than not these days. Good to know you are all carrying on the tradition!
 
great photos i enjoed them all i wish i could have been there but seeing this thread made me almost feel like i was
 
@phyl - anytime!!! Dr. Mac and (becky?) were asking about you! Also RichT. anyways they wanted to extend their greetings! It's too bad you weren't there as I am positive your nikon and (more importantly) photo skills would have been far better for this thread!

@terri - thanks! but more importantly thank you for the constant help with that badge machine!!!!

@lps1212 - great to hear! I figured i'd take as many pics as possible to help document the event. Supposedly TFH has taken two pics from this thread for publication!

I somehow missed inserting Reefs Creation as a vendor. They were after Allquatics and before GothamAquatics (again in my mind going clockwise).

Acan lighting. funny story -this dude comes to the front where I'm sitting with Curt/George/Terri and says "what's the password for the wireless"? I do a double take and ask hey do you recognize me? After the initial shock...the inside scoop is that we lived on campus together almost 20 years ago. What a crazy small world.

Laura B (formerly of Icecap, now Acan) and Lester R (my old college buddy) from Acan Lighting.

I actually had to leave early so i missed all the raffle goodness.

My day ended with a trip all the way up north to Ft. Lee, NJ for a bday party. Family thing. I was tired - but it was nice to see this:

which after we ate - was still this:

Of course honestly if I could have done it - I would have preferred staying til the end to partake in the raffles and also any last minute clearance sales.

Hope you guys all enjoyed the pics! No more to post to this thread.

Great pics!! Thanks for posting them!

The last vendor you posted (Frags Unlimited) was next to Dr. Mac and across from where Acan was before they tured their booth.
