Current demonstrators include Michael Alguire, Mike Mahoney, Rebecca DeGroot, Jeff Hornung, Raleigh Lockhart, Cindy Drozda, Matthew Deighton, Greg Gallegos, Graeme Priddle/Melissa Engler, Harvey Meyer, and Jason Clark.

Congratulations Mark! That is a great line up of demonstrators. Your list of info being covered is very impressive. That's a lot for just 90 minutes!

I've always enjoyed watching your demos. Your knowledgeable and entertaining. When this COVID social distancing thing is over ... remind me to get your autograph!
