Title: Turkey Trot pick ups
Post by: MDTOM84 on August 24, 2018, 07:53:17 PM
Had a great time today at Turkey Trot. Got a Marlin Watkins Snakewood over Holly, purpleheart over sycamore and a coaxer call. Also got 1 of Paul Platz's cherry glass over glass made just for Turkey Trot.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180824/05c4b081cc8c1629003d11bd7bf9b86f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180824/e0ee82fbfc2d5c9bf20079059e753203.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180824/15c6410ec1248031d40bfd6b4a0078fd.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180824/c94b0ca1a7f526f5b28e8808eb4c48a6.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180824/4e98e09a6bdb66f01bada250a1420b17.jpg)

I got it from Paul, he only made 9 calls from the event. All 9 were cherry glass over glass with that sound board. I will PM you the price.

My wife works in the lanyard and credential ID market, I could probably have her make up some lanyard/name tag with our OG name on them if that's something you guys would be interested in

Just as a reference, something like this maybe? My other thought and it may well be way to ambitious is a shirt with the tenth annaversay logo on the chest and then all the previous (Or by then also new) patches on the back in a block grid with a block for each patch? Like a said, it may be to ambitious or to costly. I would buy two myself.
