2005 BANQUET

proforce99 · 11-05-2004, 03:29 PM

Well the 2005 Banquet is booked. After numerous requests to have the banquet in a new location, as it had been in Kerrville for several years, this years banquet will be in Huntsville on March 12th.The location is
LaQuinta Huntsville
124 I-45 North
Huntsville, Tx. 77320
Phone 936-295-9245
They have given us discounted room rates for $58 until March 1st. You must reserve a room by the March 1st date to get the discounted rate.

Hopefully the move will drive some renewed interest in the banquet from the East Texas members for this banquet and we will look at other areas of the state for the '06 banquet.

Look forward to seeing all of you there

Looks good Gary, and I like the price. Okay folks start saving your money to buy raffle tickets and some of those bagain hunts in the auction, not to mention beverages for me (coke or pepsi - I drink either

)

Sounds good ! Tomme exactly what is a bagain hunt?! :evil: :lol:

Tomme · 11-07-2004, 03:07 PM

LOL. Well the hog hunt for six that went for $300 sure qualifies as a bargain. I think there was another for 4 people for about the same price. A bear hunt in Canada went for about $800 and a turkey hunt went for like $125. Those are such good buys that even as big a tightwad as you might bid on one.

Will be looking forward to it. Tomme, stop telling everyone about how cheap the hunts went for. I will not be able to buy anymore it more people were to bid on them. Bob :lol:

I was wondering if the costs of attending the 2005 banquet have been set? :?: I am planning on attending.

Tomme · 11-12-2004, 12:50 PM

Doc the banquet tickets are typically in the $15-20 range depending on the cost. Of course many people also bring money for the (Sorry Bobby but it's for the good of the association) auction and for raffle tickets as there are usually a number of hunts and other good items in there as well.

Thanks for the info. Hope to see you guys there. Huntsville is not that far :!: :wink: from Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. Plus I may talk the wife into letting me get a hunt in while I am in Texas.

proforce99 · 11-12-2004, 06:30 PM

Banquet tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. Hope to see all of you there

Tomme · 11-12-2004, 08:27 PM

That's a little higher than it's been in the past. But then again I can remember cheap gasoline too.

T-Post · 11-12-2004, 10:03 PM

Tomme,
I am sure you can probably even remember$.05 cokes too!

Tomme · 11-12-2004, 10:18 PM

You bet I can! Though they were only 6 oz. Now the gasoline at $.17 a gallon, that was really something.

tsadler · 01-20-2005, 12:17 PM

I will be there! Then, on the 13th, y'all are invited to come to our 3D shoot in Bryan. California start 11 - 1.

tsadler · 01-20-2005, 12:19 PM

What time does it start, y'all?

proforce99 · 01-25-2005, 10:01 PM

The doors will open at 12:00 until 5:00 for checking out the vendors that have tables there. Raffle tickets and merchandise will also be on sale at this time. From 5:00 until 6:00 will be social hour with the Banquet beginning at 6:00. We are starting 1 hour earlier than in the past to try to get done a little earlier with the auction. Hope to see everyone there.
