Not a bad turn out or our 3rd year.
For the most part everything went smoothly and according to plan.
Lot's got done but we could have used more time to do every thing I wanted.
I heard over and over again from the first timers about how much they learned and were enjoying themselves.
And of course some of the fest vets did nothing but drink and hang.
Tony's testing was informative, caused lots of debate and gave us a platform to do ever better controlled comparisons for next year. I'll let him post the outcomes.
The results at the Skating rink proved that VLM is the only way to improve the appearance of a impacted CGD. Host, GLS and Cimexing got the best visual results. The areas chosen to be HWE'd were also the most dry soil impacted so inevitably showed the most wicking the next day.
Those that took the Talisman tour were all blown away by what goes on there. Like past years, I heard comments that that alone was worth the trip out.
Chad got his.
Perfect weather!!!
Waldo was the life of the party and made me proud to be his dad.
Fenstermaker won the Rug book which raised over $900 to help out the Green Team.
The new V was super quite and hot enough to run two 012 wands @ 235º+
Steam Way, Dusty, Blue Line, Fibermaxx, Cobbs, Taf, DirtyGrout.com, Bridgepoint, Excellent Supply, the Maker Co, CCCS all gave out great gifts and prizes, thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of great food and drink, Seeing the new V, hearing about how much was learned from the newer guys (and even some very old ones) and seeing great friends again made it worth every bit of effort for me. Thanks every one, especially those who came from so far to attend!!

Oh and by the way Brevick, I pulled in about $2800 when all said is done.
I'll be at cat69 next week if you need to reach me.
