No not much. I have had some speed bumps due to I like to be covered with the tax man. Since we are going to try and give away buckles (if we get enough donations)I had to check with my CPA about things. So there are some things I have to do that I did not realize. Jim who runs the saddle contest has been a big help. I know you don't need to know all my problems but I don't get to make many long distance calls during school time and I am going back to Graduate school again for another certification. I have so little time to call companies for donations. The companies that have been contacted so far have been wonderful. | ||

I reread my post. Sounds like I'm a little down. I am just a lot going on in my life right now. Mark don't misunderstand I love that weekend!! I think for those who have never been, do not know how much fun we all have! I absolutely love everyone coming over and just meet and greet. It is not an everyday event to have people over like, Janne from the other side of the pond, Dick from Minn., Wild Bill from CT., Paul Bond from AZ. It is neat to get such a diverse group together. | ||

Janne I wasn't paying attention to where I posted. Sorry Mark. Janne You ordered an american smoker from where? How did you ever pay for shipping? You ought to see the smokers that I saw at my State convention. It is put on my Skills USA. Kind of like Future Farmers of America but this is for Career and Tech. students. The smokers are one class. Students can enter this class and there were some awesome ones. If I can figure out how to post some I will. | ||

New member Username: Bronbo Post Number: 366 Registered: 1-2004 |
Steve, Nope, but we can give you info; The 17th Annual Boot-Saddle Makers Trade Show starts at 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Friday and Saturday October 7 & 8, 2005 at the MPEC on 1000 Fifth Street in Wichita Falls Texas. It is $10.00 per person. Hotels with blocked rooms for the Round Up, and they are near the MPEC, are the Holiday Inn @ 940-766-6000, LaQuinta @ 940-322-6971, Best Western @ 940-766-6881 and Quality Inn @ 940-322-2477.

Friday nite, October 7, is a BBQ aka "Cunningham Social", aka "Watch Brian Eat" at Gary's, I'll let him chime in with that info. I will say that Gary and his wife Shelly's hospitallity is second to none. Contact Eddie/Kathy Kimmel @ 325-356-3197 or kimmels@comanchetx.com for the registration. They, and everyone who has a part in it, do a wonderful job with the Round Up. One more thing......... Everyone better be there! | ||

JAKE I thought you fell off the end of the earth!! Looking foward to seeing ya. Nope your mittens awaiteth sir. I had sent you an e-mail? Steve I met you a couple of years ago at Brownwood. I don't know if you remember. The "watch Brain eat night" is always on. We serve burgers and a few dowgs with chips, tea or lemonade aid. This is how it works if you like that stuff Carl, Brian, Jake and my wife attempt to make it happen. Now if you would like a steak, Michael A. has brought fish, Dick has his veg. burgers and things like that are brought. If you would like a different beverage please bring it. We are pretty laid back and as I have said: we eat, drink and get to tell a few lies. This year I'm going to tell people about what my 100th pair LOOKED like  | ||

Thanks to everyone for the information. I went to the cordwainer event in Wisconsin last year and couldn't swing the trip to WF. Short of the creek rising I will get to Texas this year. I remember you, Gary. I don't know if the others from the list that I met remember me, but I was the tall fellow wearing shorts and athletic shoes. I had recently had knee surgery and couldn't wear jeans. I stuck out like a sore thumb, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself and came home with lots of cool tools and supplies | ||

Steve, Of the three years I've been at the Round-Up, I have stayed at the Quality Inn, or the Comfort Inn next door and owned by the same company. I feel okay in either one and several of the attendees have stayed there in the past. Of course, the most important thing that a guy looks for is if the TV remote control works, who cares about safety? | ||

Hey Everybody, I got an e-mail from Kathy Kimmel concerning some of the hotels in Wichita Falls; ____________________________________________ "I just found out (because I called to verify our reservations at the Holiday Inn, Wichita Falls), that what USED to be the Holiday Inn is now called The Remington. AND what used to be the Radisson is now the Holiday Inn !! These changes took place on July 28th, with no warning at all to the MPEC, or us." "Our reservations were still in order under the new "Remington" name, and hopefully others who reserved rooms there will still have theirs." "Any who call to get the number for what they THINK is the Holiday Inn on Broad Street, will really be getting the number for the "old" Radisson, not the Holiday Inn adjacent to the MPEC, which is now called The Remington." ____________________________________________ I have asked the Kimmels, to join our group, so hopefully they can post any other changes. Also, Kathy told me they will have a web-site up in a couple months. So if you know of anyone who is not active on the Forum, or if you talk to a boot/saddlemaker who is going, please tell them of the change. Pass it along. "Changing Names For the Brand" Mark | ||

I got an e-mail from Kathy Kimmel and wanted to pass some information on; ______________________________________________ Eddie and Kathy, Mother wanted me to let you all know that she will not be at the Round-Up this year. She fell on Aug.27th and broke her femur and now has a rod, blade and screw in place! She's at St. Catherine's Center in Waco for rehab and it looks as if she will be there until at least the end of October! She's not too happy about that, but we want to be sure she will be able to drive again and do for herself---there's no taking care of her!! The only way to know that she's not putting weight on the leg is to keep her under supervision!! Keep her in your prayers, she still misses Jack terribly, he was such a good husband to her. She also wanted me to thank you for the card. It means a lot to her to know that she has such good friends! Her address at St. Catherine's is: Norma Reed--3253 St. Catherine's Center 300 West Hwy 6 Waco, TX 76712 Her room phone is (254)761-8253. She can call locally, however she can't dial long distance and she refuses to use a calling card---it's too much trouble!! Thank you for your friendship, she loves you all!! Kim | ||

I just received these pictures today, courtesy of Randy Cooley. There are quite a few, so I'm going to post them in a couple of batches. Most of these are the people who attended. I'll post the boots tomorrow.This first picture is Brian C Thomas, and great supporter of bootmaker's, Jeff Borins from California.  | ||
