Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
This year we moved to back to our site in Island Lake State Recreation Area. The visitors seemed less than average for this event, but the numbers we got from the park officials indicate it was about average. Maybe the guests were not finding our cluster of scopes this year for some reason. We had less club members coming out this year also. But the event was a success both nights with great talk turnout and clear skies both nights.
