I normally take quite a few, but almost none this year, I took a few of one of the buck and ball originals in the case, and there was one Schroyer enterred with silver inlays in the patch box, I went to take some close ups of that one several times but it was back with the judges each time. I wonder if, like me those who have been many times only take a few now.
I do think the heat limited the crowd, the parking lot was filling up at 8:30 went I arrived, but was well cleared when I left at 3.
