WINCHESTER ARMS COLLECTORS SHOW CODY, WY JUNE 18-20, 2010


As usual we had a wonderful time in Cody visiting with our friends, and displaying. Our Lee Straight Pull display won "Best of Show" so we brought home a traveling trophy which we will return to next year's WACA Cody show. Anyone who has not visited Cody, and the Musem, has missed something special. Go if you can.

Ohio Gun Collectors show May 22&23, 2010







We took both our Hotchkiss display and our Winchester Lee Straight Pull display to this show. Many, many nice comments on both displays. The Judges gave us a 'Judges Choice' award for the Hotchkiss display in the Antique Category. Since the Hotchkiss display is our favorite one to do, we were especially pleased with the award. As usual the banquet at the Air Force Museum in Dayton was outstanding. The OGCA does a wonderful job with this program.

Colorado Gun Collectors Show May 2010


We took our new Winchester Lee Straight Pull Military display to Denver in May 2010. We had lots of compliments from many visitors. We won one of the ten Judges Choice awards. Not bad considering there were 61 displays in competition. Most winning displays now have multiple tables and many guns. We feel fortunate to have won an award with our one table with three guns. Our friends Nancy and Larry Wales won first place with their Newton Rifle display. An awsome effort.

We will be going back next year if for no other reason but to visit with friends, and attend a great gun/display show.
