[L.D. Cakes]

Timberr & Gumbo, I know you guys are on pins & needles anticipating the hang but we're all gonna pitch in and help as much as we can so you can take a breath and enjoy yourselves. All the hard work you put into this is greatly appreciated and this hang comes together because of your attention to detail and how you help everyone feel welcome and excited to come to this hang. I admire both of you and wanted to bring you a symbol of what you represent and something that everyone would recognize you as who you are as the lead organizers that keep us all coming together every year. I thought about a trophy and wasn't sure what kind then I thought about crowns and that just didn't fit and then I thought about badges but wasn't sure what type until I saw these.....

I looked for deputy badges and haven't been able to find any as we have many deputized folks who are instrumental in making this event happen on such a grand scale, I'm not going to start naming them as I'm afraid I'll leave someone out, but we all know who you are and Thank You Every One!!!

[Gumbo]

It's everyone who makes this hang great! Thanks for being so understanding. I know there will be more than enough for everyone.

Not much longer now....

[Timberrr]

Thank you Cakes, for your kind acknowledgment.
Interesting imagery though. Gumbo and I were just saying that the more organized we are and the better everyone knows their role and what's expected - the less we have to play sheriff.

You're so right Cakes! Thank you Timberrr & Gumbo! I don't know where you get your energy from.

RE: Patches

I'm perfectly willing to give mine up to folks who're more likely to use it. I just don't decorate my outdoor stuff much, and I'd like those who do to have one. The memories I carry away from these hangs are more than enough for me (the pounds I gain, on the other hand......).

Regarding Patches:

We're gonna be short.

Yeah, like that's new - I've been short for my whole life.

And we only need one patch, thanksabunch!

Gunner, on our north and south bound trips to Maine for the summers we, make that she, pulls the fifth wheel through Jaxs on I-95. Just found that it's less of a problem than the bypasses.
