| Alex KF7LDR (left) and Terry AD7P were our expert ticket sales engineers. Ticket sales were excellent this year and we actually made a few bucks! | |
 |
|
| The crowd was great, the food was great, the service was outstanding! We had everything we needed for a perfect party. | |
 |
|
| Whether "wheelin' and dealin" or exchanging pleasantries, KV7N Kent (center-left) and N7SVI Bob were getting the problems solved! | |

| Jeremy Brown KA7BIF, who prefers not to see the audience as he is speaking, provided the group with a great Silent Key Memorial Tribute video. Thanks Jeremy! | |

| Mike Harshbarger, a local singer and entertainer, played his guitar and sang us songs while we ate our meals. Thanks Mike! | |
