Lauren & Bill Edmundson will be representing Glen-L this weekend at the Wooden Boat Festival in Madisonville, LA. Lauren volunteered to set up a booth and run it all weekend for us. I don't recall Bill volunteering, but I think Lauren may have "volunteered" him herself!

Thank you both sooooooooo much for doing this for us! Please stop by the show and say "hi" to them if you're nearby or if you'll be at the show. I hope someone will post photos!

You can find details about the show here: http://www.woodenboatfest.org/

The show starts today. We didn't get to bring a boat. But, Butch and Paula Barto are here with the big Tahoe.

The neatest boat here is a home built steam launch. This guy built the boat from his head. No Plans. He even built the steam engine from scratch.

These pictures are the initial set-up. We'll get some more when we're all set.

Bill

Lauren took more pictures yesterday. But, when I previewed them the were all out of focus. I deleted them. Then found that the preview was messing up. We'll try again today.

We had a good show. We sold 36 catalogs and signed 76 up for the news letter. Butch and Paula were there with Innocense. Jeff and Melanie Cobb were there on Sunday as well as Allen Blackwell. Woodnut and several others from the forum were also there.
