2013 Southern National Non-shooting Party update

[duckgumbo]

I have been in contact with all of our usual sponsors and they are all going to continue and support us with donations. We have secured optical products from Kowa, Pentax and Leupold as well as rifles from CZ, Savage and Pyramid Air. Wolf, Fiocchi, Eley and Lapua will also be involved and I am pretty sure that we will have the usual sponsor booths at the Party. Spyderco is definitely going to be a major sponsor also. The other sponsors that I have heard from are 10 MInute Deer Skinner, Benchmaster Rests, Beeman, Boker Knives, Boyt/Bob Allen, Browning, Columbia River Knife & Tool, DAC, Daisy, DeCot Hy-wyd, Dewey Rods, DMT, Dillon, Duracoat, G&A Investments, G-96, Hogue, Lens Pen, McGowan, Midway USA, MPT, MTM, Pro-shot, Pyramex Safety, Sierra Bullets, Smith Abrasives, Timney and many more to come.

The really exciting news is that Tony Chachere's is going to be the major sponsor of our Chili, Gumbo and Rib Cook-off for each division so get your recipes ready. There is NO additional cost to enter the Cook-off!

I hope that Dustin will be able to add some updates here for the actual shooting matches that weekend as Jerry and I are just going to relax and enter the Cook-off Contest but not sure if we will be in all divisions! We will have an unbiased set of judges to try and make it totally fair. I am not too sure of their sense of taste but we shall see!

I should have the complete program online by the middle of February so stay tuned. If you have any questions, please let me know.

One last update is that as of this date, December 5, 2012 we have 38 pre-paid entries for the Party and MUST have 50 total or 12 more by December 31, 2012 or the next update will be canceling the Party!
