It was a real nice gathering of like minded folks and as usual the pot luck lunch was really good. Paul Glancy from Paul&#8217;s bakery supplied us with delicious cupcakes and brownies. Several people got up and talked about their displays, including me! I showed the, new for 2015 show, bells I made out of PVC primarily for the song Snoopy and the Red Barron. Everyone seemed to like the bells and I showed two short videos of our display that several seemed really interested in. The organizer, Andy Anderson brought a PVC spiral tree that I was one of several that helped him set it up. Below are some photos of it and other items from the gathering. The folks at this show are real nice and I enjoy going every year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Al<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-348\" src=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree3-200x300.png\" alt=\"PVC Tree3\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree3-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree3-624x936.png 624w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree3.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-347\" src=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree2-200x300.png\" alt=\"PVC Tree2\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree2-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree2-624x936.png 624w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree2.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-346\" src=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree1-200x300.png\" alt=\"PVC Tree1\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree1-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree1-624x936.png 624w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PVC-Tree1.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/006.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-345\" src=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/006-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"006\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/006-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/006-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/006-624x832.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/005.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-344\" src=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/005-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"005\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/005-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/005-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/005-624x832.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/004.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-343\" src=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/004-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"004\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/004-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/004-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/004-624x832.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/003.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-342\" src=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/003-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"003\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/003-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/003-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/saunderschristmaslights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/003-624x832.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 21st I attended the VA Mini expo\/meeting in Ashland Virginia.
