Now thats what I'm talkin about! Looks great, can't wait to be there.

Ok lets try this again:

 Well shucks!!
 I guess it'll have to do the way it is.
 
 Took a long walk on the grounds of the conservation club today . Looks like a good place to hold this kind of event.There's two shelter houses along the ridge there above the lake, lotsa space for campsites in two different areas . Both of 'em are close to each other and fairly near the main cabin.
 There's drinkable water at the steel building,which is between the cabin and the two shelters, running water/toilets in the cabin and porta johns at both shelterhouses.
 One of the guys there today said he'd seen over 30 cars parked on the place for a shoot before so theres plenty of room for that many vehicles and a few more, I'm sure.We are also talkin' to the club to see if they'll let us set up a 20 target range for the weekend. I've gathered all the components to make a "running " 3-d target. Like they have at Mojam.Need a smallish 3-d target now. Maybe a javelina or a coyote.
 I gotta admit I'm pretty excited. I'm in the processs of trackin down a guy that sells archery equipment to set up a booth  and sell his wares. I'll be talkin to some of the guys sellin down at Pappy's in Tenn. as well to see if they can attend.
 Gonna be a ball!!

Yeah , uh small world, Jim Critney just gave me your card yesterday.
We definitely would appreciate you setting up for the duration. He also said you might be able to bring a band saw and a generator? That would be cool. I'm lookin forward to meetin ya.

We are gonna need alternate sources of light back at the shelter houses once it gets dark. So ya'll need to bring all the Coleman blood trailing lanterns you've got stowed in your garages.

The flyer looks really good. Jim and I talked to Paul at the shoot Sat. He is a very skilled bowyer and he says he might be able to make it. There seemed to be quite a bit of interest from others. DEN 

Well fellas we have our first vendor on board. Bryan (deerstalker) has thrown his hat in the ring so he'll be there . He is trackin down another guy that also sells archery stuff that may come as well.

My wife is gonna set up a PDF file so I can e-mail the flyer out and ya'll can post 'em in your local deer and turkey check stations or whatever.

It was a ball, Dennis. I didn't work on a single bow the whole time I was there, other than givin unwanted advice . My elbow is boogered up. Had a good time anyway.
Handed out a buncha flyers so we'll see how many folks we get from my efforts.
Get the word out fellas.
Chris

Sounds great! I've got a bench and some tools and some billets and staves

I'll take a hat for sure. DEN

Nope Dennis ,I can't make Cloverdale this year.
Tell Ronald we'd be glad to have him, ask him if he wants a hat or T-shirt. ;>)

Put me down for a shirt and a hat also, Chris!
Thanks,
Bryan

Chris,
My shirt size will be a 2Xl as well.
Bryan

Yeah Tracy, that'd be great if you are willing to do it in front of a buncha folks. Hope you are getting dried out and it wasn't too hard on ya.

I'm planing on being there. Ron want's to go and bring his string making stuff, but may have to work. He'll know for sure by Thur. Billy want's to go. I have a call in to Doyle. It will be great fun. DEN

I know it's early but I just checked the weather and it looks good at this point. The next frontal system should move through the middle of next week. Looks like lows in the 60s and highs in the 80s. DEN
