    • What we know/think we know so far:

      Bill, Sam, Pat and I have one of the welcome signs so it had to be an event that we were all at.

      Bill thinks it was after 2013.

      Sam thinks it might have been Carolina Battleship Thunder (but that was before 2013).

      I haven't mentioned it, but I was thinking it might be Texas Thunder. I'm not sure all of those that have one made that event.

      Mark wants to make one out of wood.

      Roger, David & Pat are completely off topic - not that unusual.

      We need an event planner that can say - we gave those out at ......

          • We didn't do that at Texas Thunder. but the metal art was available at auctions held at several events so don't remember which one the welcome sign was given out at. I'm pretty sure I have one but "who knows where it's sitting right now" Think it was in my computer room for several years but from there my memory gets fuzzy.

            • How many members have this piece? That might help us determine at what event it was part of a grab bag or special order.

              • I feel pretty sure it was part of a goody bag. I don't remember ordering it.

                I'm thinking Sam has been to less events than some of us, so maybe he could list the good sized ones he's been to and we can narrow it down from there.

                • I remember Dennis Christensen doing many of our name tags with his machines so maybe he did this one in metal even though it is not a name tag.

                    I'm leaning this direction for my guess .....2009

                      That’s the correct year but I don’t recall seeing any there. Then again, there’s a lot that I don’t recall.

                        It was not Texas Thunder. I did not attend that event.

                          I think it is a too heavy guage metal for Dennis' machine.

                          • I'm inclined to think that Carolina Thunder was the event it was given out at.
