This morning's mail brought another door prize for the RodMaker Reception at the National Rod Builders Show - a laser light rod/kit from Wylie Wiggins. It included the handle and blank (assembled) and only needs guides wrapped and finished. A rather unique item if I do say so. Everyone is welcome to take a look at it during the reception.

One more thing worth mentioning, I think, is that not a single one of these door prizes has been soliticed from anyone. I didn't ask a single person or company to donate anything - they have all done this of their own accord. I think it says alot about an event when companies and individuals simply take it upon themselves to donate such items without being asked.

Without further ado -


Following is the list of door prizes to be given away at the RodMaker Reception on Saturday Evening. Admission is free. Nothing to buy. Come eat our food and drink our drinks and win one of these fantastic prizes!
