Christmas 2000 Shoot

We shot only 2 special holiday stages during our December 9th Christmas Shoot and Social and as usual, that varmint Pleasant was the Top Gun Cowboy and Precious Commodity won the Top Gun Cowgirl competition.  2nd Place winners in the cowboy & cowgirl categories were T-Bone & Lily Wind Dancer.  Precious took considerable pleasure in beating old dad, T-Bone.  This was Precious' last shoot, or last shoot for some time.  This young cowgirl will have graduated from college by the time you read this and have moved up north to become a working Yankee.  But, have heart cowboys and cowgirls, she'll do just fine, north or south of the magic line.

A number of special awards were presented with the monthly shooting awards (only 1st and 2nd place Top Gun awards for cowboy and cowgirl were awarded at this shoot).  The special awards are listed below:

In addition to the above special awards, a very special award was presented to Cooter Clinker (aka Mike Pleasant...not to be confused with that varmint Pleasant - aka Michael York).  Cooter is the Marauder's SASSŪ Territorial Governor and he was the founder and chief organizer of the Tennessee Mountain Marauders.  Recognizing his contribution to the Marauders, Cooter was presented a Pioneer Salute Certificate and a free Lifetime Family Membership in the Marauders.  Thanks Cooter for everything you've done.  You are a Top Cowboy.

A special thanks is due to Lupas Hodag and his lady and to Bean Pot and his lady.  These folks arrived early and cooked a special meal of turkey and dressing.  When that was put with all the vittles that the Marauders and Lead Mine Gang members brought...we had a real feast!

A special thanks is also due to the Rev Ace Blackwater and Sassy Birdsong for bringing their musical equipment to entertain a rowdy bunch of cowboys and cowgirls.

Thank you, Benny Pollack, Mgr. at Food Lion, for loaning us a Christmas tree for our Christmas party.

Thanks for stopping by pards...that's all the news this time around
