Cheer Cheers to the vendors who donated gifts for MPG!

[stuckinohio]

I attended my first MPG last weekend. What a great experience. The generosity displayed by all the vendors who donated prizes for the MPG was unbelievable. Off the top of my head, these are a few:

Smitty's
Lee Valley
Packard
Custom Cast blanks
Exotic Blanks
T Shadow
Blanks by Sweet Cheeks
Rocky
and countless others whom I forgot right now.

I know this is not the correct forum for this last statement, but the most generous occurrence of the day was Bob Jackson donating the lathe he won to a 12 year old turner!

Amazing...
