Live From the Cardinal Classic--Pictures and Stuff

First things first!

 

Perazzi has an "open door"policy Vandalia style.

 

FG,
Thanks for the pictures and reports. I'm looking forward to following the shoot with your pictures and reporting. Get a picture of ololliedawg,shooting his sx1.

 

No one wants a picture of Oleolliedawg....here is "Little Dawg". He can shoot that K80.



Shot a practice with him. He wanted to shoot for a beer. I knew better.

 

Quite the poser.

 

Sew-U-Say is one of the vendors in our Industry / Vendor section. Barb finished one of our hats. $15 We can get them on just about any hat or color. She does great work and has 2 vendor trailers at the Classic today.

 

One of the prizes!

 

LoL

 

Early views





Looking the other direction

 

The Memorial for Karen Fishburn will be formally displayed Saturday. Mr. Fishburn asked me what I thought. I told him I would like to hear what you think about it.

We walked over to the memorial and he said, "I think my guys really outdid themselves."

Jack is one of those people only a few get to meet.

 

Toy Australian Sheep Dog

 

Well trained!!! He's a hustler when it comes to beer rounds!!

 

Very nice as usual, keep those cards and letters coming ... Can those hats be ordered from the Folks at Cardinal Center or dos the place have a web site ...? WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Anyway to access the scores or follow them?

 

Sew-U-Say can take them by phone or at the Cardinal Center..




Barb will put anything on the back.

 

One of my squad members recently changed from shooting right handed to left handed. Lost vision in one of his eyes.

 

Charlie

 

This guy on the left had his first shoot at the CC. Sister gets to model the new hats.

 

3 of the Perazzi staff. Their master gunsmith tuned my trigger in just a few seconds.

 

The guy with the grey hair and beard, is that the Grey Ghost.

Dan is a very approachable guy. He gave us a brief interview. Will post it later.

 

Harley was checking the scores.

 

The "Dawg Family"

Another new vendor

 

Powerful wind made the targets challenging today!

 

The Cardinal is not just about trapshooting.

 

3 "dawg" nite

 

No wind early in the morning!

 

Semi official "Big Don" sighting. In the main entry building with a Michigan State hat. No pictures so no rewards will be collected / sighting will remain unofficial. Longshot is paying $10 for pictures. Great to know the tall guy is here if it was really him.

 

Great Pictures and looks like a great shoot ... Thanks a bunch .... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Thanks for the pictures, keep them coming! The Harlan Campbell buckle is on my Bucket List! Steve

 

Looking forward to the interview. Dan will make time to talk to anyone,even someone like me that can't shoot worth a crap anymore.

 

Early lunch crowd.

 

Ben coming over for a sandwich.

 

Shot with Dan Bonillas and Daro Handy at Steves old place in LasVegas one year, both good guys and very approachable ... Gave them both Magic Rocks for good luck ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Thought this was a pet fox.

 

Cute, but what happened to the dogs back and legs where its been shaved ..? Are those hot spots from skin infections ..? Great pictures ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

A huge crowd showed up early today for the dedication ceremony of the Cardinal Memorial Garden. Lots of pictures to follow. It is amazing to see the amount of pride shown by the shooters, workers and staff

 

Its truly amazing when people come together, thats the way it used to be and should be ... Is the Memorial Garden for past shooters, etc ..? I would love to purchase a brick in honor of Big Leo (Leo Harrison III) to be placed in the Garden, if thats possible ... I would appreciate any infomation or who to contact for such a thing to happen ... Thx in advance, WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Damn squirrels. Pooch chased a squirrel thu the electric doggy fence. The squirrel made a left in front of the motorcycle. Dog did not see the motorcycle. He had a bunch of vertebra fused together and is just learning to walk again.

 

As I understand it was to be small after the loss of Karen Fishburn. Then we lost Doug Freeman and Aden Kaufman. There are memorial benches in the immediate area in their names. There was a lot of pride and emotions on display. More pictures later.

 

The pictures make me feel like I'm right there with you all. Truly appreciate you taking time to share and post them. We all enjoy them very much.

Great pictures, a great ceremony, with a bunch of great people on hand ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

I saw and talked to him on Thursday....

 

Joe, enjoying the pics and news. Really sorry I couldn't make it to the Heritage & Card. Classic this year. Moved to Florida first part of August. Tell Art "Hi" and thanks for the great rates all these years.
Harold

 

Thanks for the pictures, Family Guy!
Saw you in he lunch area today, but you were busy on your computer, so I didn't want bother you.
It was a beautiful day for an event! Also enjoyed watching Sen. Rob Portman trying to shoot. He did break a few!

 

Never too busy. Careful tho that we don't get too bunched up. Otherwise one well placed grenade could cause a lot of damage.

 

Senator Portman, "Pro-gun" Republican from Ohio, made it to the Cardinal Center. Mr. Fishburn, whom is always the best host, greeted the senator and had his crew show him around. They even took the time to shoot a little practice.







Below, Ann Dysinger with the Senator.



More pictures of the Senator later.

 

8 Sisters donuts today from left to right...

Maple cream stick, strawberry cheese cake cream stick w creamy icing, chocolate cream stick, vanilla, maple cream stick with bacon (heart attack special), maple cream stick slathered with oreo cookie crumble.

Below maple cinnamon roll, and glazed donut. Not pictured is the huge apple fritter.

Enough of the health food section.

Another gun to be given away!

 

He ate my lunch......

 

English lab. Short legs huge mouth.

 

That is my son's dog, she got hit by a motorcycle and her back was broken, he heard the accident, searched for her and drove around looking for her, he gave up and she crawled into the corner of his garage, with a broken back, they had to fuse her spinal cord, he's lucky she survived, she is having a rough time getting around, I think she is going to make it, he loves that dog. The legs are where they hooked up IV's during surgery. Thanks for your concern WPT.

The more I am around dogs, the less I like people ... Hard not to love an animal that Loves you like they do, unconditionally ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Gary,
I'm glad to hear that your sons dog is going to make it. I have lost 3 dogs in the past 3 years. Daisy a bullmastif died at 10. Gretchen a wiener dog died at 13 1/2. Misty a black lab that I had to put down last Oct. She was 14.

 

Thanks, Ron said Gracie was glad to get to go shooting again, she loves to go with him, and she is doing great, has started walking some, especially hard having had her Spinal Cord broken, and now fused. It may slow her down, but not stop her.

Happy Birthday Ron Bryant Love ya Dad

The Memorial Garden must have cost a fortune.

 

I don't see a dog.

 

Sad that we have to wait until spring now.

 

You ask "where is the dog"?

There was a dog there when I took the picture.

The SCTP College Kids will like the CC and the night life nearby. Betting a bunch make it to High Street on campus.

 

Weather is miserable. All I have are pictures. Are we close?

 

Got 4 inches of snow outside. Pictures make me think there is a light at the end. Is spring here yet?

Great picture of Bonillas and Perazzi. See ya at the Buckeye in the spring.
