Rachael and myself would like to thank everyone that came down to our rodbuilders gathering. We had a total of 55 people, including a past Bass Masters Classic Champion, Jack Hains. We hope that everyone had a great time.

We'd also like to give a special thanks to the vendors that graciously took time from their busy schedule to be here with us. Bill Batson and Karry Batson of Batson Enterprises, Ben Stein from American Tackle Co Place, Donnie Paul from Anglers Resource, Billy Vivona,. They all donated some very nice door prizes, along with prizes from RodGeeks and MHX. Everyone walked away with a prize.

Also thanks to the guys that took the time to do certain demo's on marbling, finishing, cross wraps, lathe work and grip making. Lots of discussions were going on at different times about rodbuilding topics in general.
Thanks again everyone that helped make our gathering a success and we'll definitely looking forward to out third annual Gathering in the Swamps. Here's a few photos of the event.

Lance
