Arkansas Valley Fair.....

Purgatory_Predator_Calls · August 18, 2007, 10:09:34 PM

A while back I posted the below call.....(Ebony call on the right)

Said it wasn't for sale as I had something in store for it. I had plans to enter this call in the wood workers section of the Arkansas Valley Fair here in Colorado.

A little while after I made up a call for Todd. (Amboyna call in the center of the photo) I was so pleased with the way it came out that I asked Todd if he would not mind if I hung on to it and entered the two as a set.

Well by god, they had the judging last Wednesday and the results are in......

Now keep in mind that this was not a call makers contest, rather a wood working contest. But I'm still pretty pleased with 1st place. I won't lie it's gonna be kind of hard to part with this call now, but I gave my word that It'll be in the mail Monday and it WILL be in the mail on Monday.

Thanks for looking guys,

Joey

What can I say.

Except honored to own a winning call from a great and winning call spinner.

But Joey if ya really want to keep the set, by all means do so and we can just work out another call.

I'm serious.

Congrats on the blue ribbon. Make sure and send Todd A signed & framed 8x10 of that picture of you with the call. Ought to look good over the fireplace! Seriously, maybe A scan of the award and writeup emailed over would be A neat touch while preserving A little history? I dunno, just A thought.
Love the calls, bro. Keep'em coming! ~KT

Yoey,

Way to go! I guess the judges know quality when they see it and that call has woodworking quality written ALL over it.

Congrats Joey, looks excellent. Todd, you truly are getting a winner there

"Pun Intended". Joey I brought my zia symbol open reed call with me to New Mexico for my brothers wedding and am hoping to steal a chance to get out and call some critters in with it. I'll keep you posted. Later,
Dave
