Seems there are still spots left in almost all the classes this year.  So if anyone is on the fence, there is still room to go!

Well, as for the rifle kit class it looks like I was misinformed.  There were only 4 spots available this year and they are full.  Also, Dad and I will not be there teaching so my Big apologies to those who we love to see every year.
