My best count was somewhere close to 100. The kids and adults all had a great time. This wouldn't have happened without the help of all the volunteers. Thank you Tommy Wall, Jarod Shake, Matthew Bredeweg, Dennis Workman, Gordon Green, Brooks Green, Scott Walker, Kevin Shake, Lee Gayheart, Jim O'Bryan and Derek McKee (I hope that was everyone. I apologize if I left someone out).

Thanks to ICO Swanson and a very special thankyou to everyone at Triple H Gun Club for their hospitality. That's gotta be the best blackberry cobbler in Indiana.
