A great show and a great family of Garden state-ers! I have had the Honor of judging the Garden Sate show a few times of the past 20 years and it never disappoints for friendship and talented taxidermist! This year was nothing short of a fun show with many laughs and a great time with friends! I have to say that the Boys from New England held their own! Mr. Steve Hackett ( President of the NEAT association) woo his first WASCO bug congrads you earned it! Mr. Fred Barilla ( VP and former President of NEAT) won the coveted Breakthrough!
If you have never been to the Garden State show you will have to go next year and see what a fun bunch they are!
Here is a picture of the the crazy Judges well at least Frank and I are! LOL!
Mike Vernelson, Lou Gaglliano, Frank Kotula and yours truly.
