This was one of the best attended FTA I have ever attended. Thanks goes out to all those hard working volunteers who made this convention such a great success. It was great to see many old friends and some new ones. I stayed for some of the auction last night and was amazed at how much that wine brought. The first bottle of skeeter pee went for $275 and the second one went for $300. I wasn't there to see what the Cranberry went for.
Lee Steinmeyer's beautiful fleshing knife display went for $3000.

Lee’s Knives are a work of art and very nice display box to boot. Thank you to all the bidders last night.

Mike and Kari (plus a bunch of volunteers) knocked this one out of the park. Too many good things to mention, but I believe the Saturday night auction sales total was a new record for the organization. Great facility and great people at the show.

None of this would have happened if Mike and Kari had not stepped forward a year ago when there were no bids for the 2025 convention.

Talkers talk and doers do, Mike and Kari certainly are doers.

Thank you for the hours and effort you put in to make this convention a success!!!
