BooFest 2017 photos

Post by VixChix »

After surviving a drive through the metropolis of Toronto.....Image

We arrived at BooFest and set up camp. Wasn't long before we were settled in.Image

Image

Good to keep the phone handy to snap photos like this of Norm thanking Rick for the fantastic job he did on his euro mount.Image

The picnic table with Cookies' cookies is always a gathering spot for socializing:

Many thanks to the wonderful folks who regularly provided boxes of Timmies coffee!

Gaston, a.k.a. Dr. Stirrup, was also there with his boundless energy and zany sense of humor. Here Gaston is speaking with Farmer/Paul: Image

Guess who this car belongs to? :D

We enjoyed shooting the 3D course which Craig had set up with Joel.
Image
This was Ben's first shoot with his Vixen which we found for him a few months ago.
Image

Love meeting the wives of forum members! I wished I'd snapped more photos of all. Here i caught up with the southern ladies....Celia (UPSman's wife) and Luanne (Flightattendant100's real flight attendant! )
Image

Always love getting to hug this gal from Maine Cookies/Gena
Image

Gena is so much more than just a pretty face. She helped organize and set up the draw prizes along with Don's wife Karin, her sister, and others. Gena also took charge of managing the draws and presenting the prizes. Her efficiency and her sense humor are always appreciated at this event! :D

Waiting for their lucky numbers to be drawn! Forefront Grant/Maple amd Tom:

Killing some time with my 2 favourite men while waiting for the festivities to begin.. LOL
Image
Image

Draws are underway!
Image

Gena is getting closer...Image

Gena has everyone's attention! Image

Hmmm... what a coincidence that there is only one ticket in for this prize donated by Gaston.. Image.. Bleach thoughtfully provided for the audience by Don!
Image

If you weren't there then I'll let you figure out on your own who was the winner of this special prize.... one hint: the forum handle rhythms with scoutblack

Rick/Roly won the Katana xbow!
Image

All too soon BooFest was over! I wish I'd caught the shootout at 100 yds where Colton showed his mettle and outshot faster xbows! Love that kid!

As we said put goodbyes we found Don at work in his shop. Couldn't resist taking a photo.
Image

Our companion Rusty will probably sleep for days after this weekend. Ben said he might too! LOL
Image

So many photos I wish I'd taken now that it's too late but I'm sure others have some to share as well. (Incidentally I found postimage.org very easy to use as an alternative to photobucket.)

Don and Karin - thank you for sharing your beautiful place with all of us for this memorable weekend!

Great reminders of a fantastic gathering Monica. Thanks for sharing those.

And thanks to you, Tim and Ben for taking me under your wing and showing me the ropes. I enjoyed the 3-D shoot immensely, and fortunately for me, we didn't keep score.

I'll look forward to the next time.
